Acorde de Baton Rouge - Lou Reed

                        {Am/D}      G


        When I think of you Baton Rouge


                      Am/D       G


        I think of a mariachi band


                      Am/D                               G


        I think of sixteen and a crisp green football field


                          C           G  


        I think of the girl I never had


                         Am/D        G


        When I think of you Baton Rouge


                        Am/D         G


        I think of a back seat in a car


                         Am/D            G


        The windows are foggy and so are we


                  C                   G


        as the police asked for our I.D.





                    G


        So helpless


                      C


        so helpless


             G              C


        Ooohhh, so helpless


             G              C


        ooohhh, so helpless


             G              C


        Ooohhh, so helpless


       C (let ring)


        so helpless


   











         Well I once had a car lost it in a divorce


        the judge was a woman of course


        She said give her the car and the house and your taste


        or else I set the trial date





        So now when I think of you Baton Rouge


        and the deep southern belles, ah, with their touch


        I wonder where love ends and hate starts to blush


        in the fields in the swamps in the rush





        In the terra-cotta cobwebs of your mind, ah


        when did you start seeing me as a spider spinning web


        Of malicious intent and you as poor poor me


       at the fire at the joint, this disinterred and broken mount


        in the bedroom in the house where we were unmarried





        So helpless, so helpless


        so helpless

        So helpless, so helpless


        so helpless





        When was I the villain in your heart


        putting the brake on your start


        you slapped my face and cried and screamed


        that's what marriage came to mean


        The bitterest ending of a dream





        You wanted children and I did not


        was that what it was all about


        You might get a laugh when you hear me shout


        you might get a laugh when you hear me shout


        I wish I had








        So helpless, so helpless


        so helpless


        So helpless, so helpless


        so helpless





        Sometimes when I think of Baton Rouge


        I see us with two and a half strapping sons


        One and a half flushed daughters preparing to marry


        and two fat grandsons I can barely carry





        Daddy, uncle, family gathered there for grace


        a dog in a barbecue pit goes up in space


        The dream recedes in the morning with a bad aftertaste


        and I'm back in the big city worn from the race of the chase


        what a waste





        So thanks for the card the announcement of child


        and I must say you and Sam look great


        Your daughter's gleaming in that white wedding dress


        with pride


        sad to say I could never bring that to you that wide smile





        So I try not to think of Baton Rouge


        or of a, of a, of a mariachi band


        Or of sixteen and a crisp green football field


        and the girl, and the girl I never had, had, had, had





        So helpless, so helpless


        so helpless


        So helpless, so helpless


        so helpless
