Music From Big Pink(Chords)

	        C                  Am      F            Dm 
We carried you in our arms on Independence Day 
Bb                          F         C 
 And now you'd throw us all aside and put us all away 
                                  Am        F                 Dm 
Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun could treat a father so? 
Bb                F                 C 
 To wait upon him hand and foot and always tell him 'No' 

E7             Am 
 Tears of rage, tears of grief 
F                 C 
 Why must I always be the thief? 
E7                             Am 
 Come to me now, you know we're so low 
F            C7    Fmaj7 C 
 And life is brief 

It was all very painless 
When you went out to receive 
All that false instruction 
Which we never could believe 
And now the heart is filled with gold 
As if it was a purse 
But, oh, what kind of love is this 
Which goes from bad to worse? 

We pointed you the way to go 
And scratched your name in sand 
Though you just thought it was nothing more 
Than a place for you to stand 
I want you to know that while we watched 
You discovered no one would be true 
And I myself was among 
The ones who thought 
It was just a childish thing to do
