D                               G               D 
My baby needs a shepherd, she's lost out on the hill 
                                       A 
Too late, I tried to call her when the night was cold and still 
      D                               G            D 
And I tell myself I'll find her but I know I never will 
                                A               D 
My baby needs a shepherd, she's lost out on the hill 

D                           G                D 
My baby needs an angel, she never learned to fly 
                                    A 
She'll not reach sanctuary just by looking to the sky 
  D                                    G           D                     
I guess I could have carried her but I didn't even try 
                            A                D 
My baby needs an angel, she never learned to fly 

D        
Oh, I ran so far through a broken land 
      G              D                A 
I was following that drummer, beating in a different band 
D                           G             D 
Somewhere on the highway, I let go of her hand 
                                A                 D 
Now she's gone forever like her footprints in the sand 


G D A D Toora loora loora lo, first the seed and then the rose G D G D A D Toora loora loora li, my kingdom fo-or a lullaby
D G D My baby needs a pilot, she has no magic wand A To help her part the troubled waters of the Rubicon D G D But in my soul, I know she'll have to go this one alone A D After all that is the only way she's ever known D But there is no lamp in all this dark G D A That could chase away her shadow from the corners of my heart D G D I pray she rides a dolphin but she's swimmin' with the shark A D Out where none can save her, not even Noah and his ark
G D A D Toora loora loora lo, to the cradle comes the crow G D G D A D Toora loora loora li, my kingdom fo-or a lullaby
D G D My baby needs a mother to love her till the end A Up every rugged mountain and down every road that bends D G D Sometimes, I hear her cryin' but I guess it's just the wind A D My baby needs a mother to love her till the end
