I just figured that the site could use some chords for this song. The chords are
reposted from paul-simon.info. Enjoy!
F Gm | F C |
Down among the reeds and rushes
G C/G G C | G C/G G C |
A baby boy was found
Bb | F C |
His eyes as clear as centuries
F Gm | F C |
His silky hair was brown
F C |
Never been lonely
Bb F/C |
Never been lied to
C Bb |
Never had to scuffle in fear
F |
Nothing denied to
| C |
Born at the instant
Bb F/C |
The church bells chime
C Bb |
And the whole world whispering
F | Gm | F C | F Gm | F C |
Born at the right time
F Gm
Me and my buddies we are travelling people
F C G C/G G C G C/G G C
We like to go down to restaurant row
Bb
Spend those euro-dollars
F/C C F Gm F
All the way from Washington to Tokyo
C F Gm F C
I see them in the airport lounge
G C/G G C G C/G G C
Upon their mother's breast
Bb F C
They follow me with open eyes
F Gm F C
Their uninvited guest
F C |
Never been lonely
Bb F/C |
Never been lied to
C Bb |
Never had to scuffle in fear
F |
Nothing denied to
| C |
Born at the instant
Bb F/C |
The church bells chime
C Bb |
And the whole world whispering
F | Gm | F C | F Gm |
F C |
Born at the right time
F C | Bb F/C | C Bb |
F Bb | F Gm | F C |
F Gm | F C |
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
F Gm |
Too many people on the bus from the airport
F C | G C/G G C | G C/G G C |
Too many holes in the crust of the earth
Bb |
The planet groans
F/C C | F Gm | F |
Every time it registers another birth
| F Gm | F C |
But down among the reeds and rushes
G C/G G C | G C/G G C |
A baby girl was found
Bb | F C |
Her eyes as clear as centuries
F Gm | F C |
Her silky hair was brown
F C |
Never been lonely
Bb F/C |
Never been lied to
C Bb |
Never had to scuffle in fear
F |
Nothing denied to
| C |
Born at the instant
Bb F/C |
The church bells chime
C Bb |
And the whole world whispering
F | Gm | F C | F Gm | F C |
Born at the right time
