Defiance, Ohio
The Great Depression

D          A                   Bm        (A)        G                     A
Humans can be the cutest of animals sometimes and I walk out the hospital cursing cars
D                    A                Bm   (A)   G     A     D
because all this turnover makes me so tired.
                A                                        Bm         (A)    G
And how are you feeling? All the white in these hospital walls can't quite wash out 
     A                D
your tired weak eyes.

                            Bm(C#m)D              Bm          (C#m)      D
And Grandma tucks you in at night, says "Never be afraid of anything outside."
                  Bm (C#m) D                           G   A
Grandma tucks you in at night. Says "Goodnight, little sweet."

D                  A                                  Bm                     
Do you come from a dead people? These pictures of the past litter the floor like 
G                A               D
newsprint - like cities fell in stacks
                    A                       Bm            (A)   G      A
and men jumped from buildings. The dust was overwhelming. Do we expect anything to

last?

D                 Bm
Goodnight, little sweet. (Goodnight, little sweet)
                 A                          G
I'll sing you to sleep. (Watch everything recede)
   A     D
La la la laa
                  Bm
Goodnight, little sweet. (Goodnight, little sweet)
                   A                       G
Watch everything recede. (I'll sing you to sleep)
   A     D
La la la laa.
