 C                 A7   
 Shes there by day-light
   Bm                         Am      Cm 
 I thought she was one of the children
 C D Em (see tab) A7
 But now shes the mother of dreams I cant wake from

 C D G Walk Down to Am instead of B7
 Now shes the mother of night
           Am      
 The night lulls in
    C        C7   
 On biblical lands
 G D Em (see tab)
 And it stands for all Im missing
        Bm        F           C    D    
 And it steals my mind with a half-smile
        Bm        F            C     D    
 And it deals the North out in black piles
        Bm       F              C    D    
 And it reels me hard round the past while
         Em    A7      C      Cm        
 I think maybe I could belong there, too
 
 G       D7  G7 F C 
 Beth-le-hem   
               A7  
 is my kind of town
      Bm                 Am     Cm  
 With rooftops where the tar is warm
 C D Em (see tab) A7
 Where I??m so lonesome I could drown
     C            D               G    
 And no one would kneel themselves down
 
 (Walk down from G to E7)
         E7 
 To fish me
 C          D   
 Save maybe Beth
 C          D   
 Save maybe Beth
 C          D     G 
 Save maybe Betha-ny
