[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
C
1912 in New York I took a walk up to Park Avenue
   F                          C
To sip some brew with my good friend
C
Maggie the bohemian
C
Lord she's quite a woman of the world
            F            G
And I'm the envy of the  men

[Chorus]
Am        Am/G     F
   Heaven help the child
Am        Am/G     F
   Heaven help the child

[Verse 2]
C
  Paris in the 20s
    Am                       F
Why it can offer plenty to a young man
                      C
With a vision so they say
C
  With a friend named Fitzgerald
      Am
I was headed for the old world
     F
On a merchant steamer
                 G
Bound for Biscay Bay

[Chorus]
Am        Am/B     F
   Heaven help the child
Am        Am/B     F
   Heaven help the child
C         Cmaj7/B Am7          Am7/G      F
 Take him back to where he has      never been

[Bridge]
Am                                             F
     We're all building  walls, they should be bridges
Am                                             F
     We're all building  walls, they should be bridges
C
Nothing like a freight train to get you to the city
          F                            C
Would you pick another sad song for me Jim
C
  I hate to leave the old man all alone to work the cotton
        F                             D
But the country never seems to bother him

[Chorus]
Am        Am/B     F
   Heaven help the child
Am        Am/B     F
   Heaven help the child
C        Cmaj7/B Am7           Am7/G      F
 Take us back to where we have      never been

[Verse 3]
C
'War is hell to live with' I said to the general
      F
As we made the battle plan out for the (D) day
C                              F
This will be the last one only God be willing
C                                D
We can go back home this time to stay

[Instrumental]
Am Am/G F

[CODA]
   C
If old acquaintance
G                C                F
Be forgotten and never brought to mind
     C              Am
Let's sip a cup of  kindness
       F                    Am
For my friends to days gone by

[Outro]
Am  F  C  G  C
