chords
Am     577555
G      355433
Fmaj7  133210
Cmaj7  x32000
F      133211
Dm     xx0231
Dsus2  xx0230
Am9    x02410 (actually an Amadd9)
Am*    x02210
 
sounds okay to play a G6 (355430) for the final chord in the verse (at "i will never sleep again", etc.)
can also try Dm7 and D7sus2 (xx0211 and xx0210) instead of Dm and Dsus2
 
 
[Verse 1]
     Am    G              Am G
In a river the color of lead
  Fmaj7 Cmaj7        F  G
Immerse the baby's head
            Am        G            Am G
Wrap her up in the News Of The World
                     Fmaj7   Cmaj7 F G
Dump her on a doorstep, girl
 
  Dm   Dsus2 Dm      Dsus2     Am9 Am*
This night      has opened my eyes
        G
And I will never sleep again
 
[Verse 2]
Am              G              Am         G
   You kicked and cried like a bullied child
Fmaj7 Cmaj7                  F   G
      A grown man of twenty-five
       Am        G
Oh, he said he'd cure your ills
Am G                            Fmaj7 Cmaj7 F G
   But he didn't and he never will
 
 Dm Dsus2 Dm  Dsus2    Am9 Am*
Oh,         save your life
                      G
Because you've only got one
 
[Chorus]
    Fmaj7           Cmaj7
The dream has gone, but the baby is real
G  F                      Dm Dsus2
   Oh, you did a good thing
F  G                     Fmaj7 Cmaj7
   She could have been a poet or she could have been a fool
G  F                     Dm Dsus2
   Oh, you did a bad thing
F  G           Dm              Dsus2 F  G
   And I'm not happy, and I'm not   sad
 
[Verse 3]
Am       G              Am   G
   A shoeless child on a swing
  Fmaj7        Cmaj7          F
Reminds you of your own again
G                      Am   G
She took away your troubles
        Am         G              Fmaj7 Cmaj7 F G
Oh, but then again, she left pain
 
 Dm Dsus2 Dm       Dsus2    Am9 Am*
Oh,       please save your life
                      G
Because you've only got one
 
[Chorus]
    Fmaj7           Cmaj7
The dream has gone, but the baby is real
G  F                      Dm Dsus2
   Oh, you did a good thing
F  G                     Fmaj7 Cmaj7
   She could have been a poet or she could have been a fool
G  F                     Dm Dsus2
   Oh, you did a bad thing
F  G           Dm              Dsus2 F  G
   And I'm not happy, and I'm not   sad
