Tom: C

Intro: C Am

          C
She yells, "if you were homeless
Sure as hell you'd be drunk
  Am
Or high, or trying to get there
Or begging for junk
      F
When people don't want you
                C
They just throw you money for beer"

    C
Her name was November
She went by Autumn or Fall
       Am
It was seven long years
Since the Autumn when all
       F
Of her nightmares grew fingers
                       C
And all of her dreams grew a tear

        F
She's somebody's baby
                Am
Somebody's baby girl
       F
She's somebody's baby
                Am
Somebody's baby girl
          G              C
And she's somebody's baby still

C
            C
She screams, "well, if you never
Gone it alone
         Am
Well then go ahead, you better
Throw the first stone
        F
You got one lonely stoner
               C
Waiting to bring to her knees"

    C
She dreams about heaven
Remembering hell
      Am
As a nightmare she visits
And knows all too well
      F
Every now and again when she's sober
            C
She brushes her teeth

       F
She's somebody's baby
                Am
Somebody's baby girl
       F
She's somebody's baby
                Am
Somebody's baby girl
           G             C
And she's somebody's baby still

  C
Today was her birthday
Strangely enough
        Am
When the cops found her body
At the foot of the bluff
     F
The anonymous caller this morning
            C
Tipped off the police

    C
They got her ID
From the dental remains
        Am
The same fillings intact
The same nicotine stains
      F
The birth and the death were both over
        C
With no one to grieve

       F
She's so mebody's baby
               Am
Somebody's baby girl
       F
She's somebody's baby
              Am
Somebody's baby girl
           G              C
And she's somebody's baby still
