Beth-le-hem      
              A7
is my kind of town
   Bm             Am        Cm
No matter what is born there
     C              D            Em (see tab) A7
Most men find their knees on the ground
     C              D            G (see tab) B7
Most men find their knees on the ground

      -Walk down from G to B7-

C                 A7
Shes there by day-light
  Bm                         Am      Cm
I thought she was one of the children
    C            D         Em  (see tab) A7
But now shes the mother of dreams I cant wake from

C            D         G    Walk Down to Am instead of B7
Now shes the mother of night
          Am
The night lulls in
   C        C7
On biblical lands
       G          D      Em (see tab)
And it stands for all Im missing
       Bm        F           C    D
And it steals my mind with a half-smile
       Bm        F            C     D
And it deals the North out in black piles
       Bm       F              C    D
And it reels me hard round the past while
        Em    A7      C      Cm     
I think maybe I could belong there, too

G       D7  G7  F C    
Beth-le-hem      
              A7
is my kind of town
     Bm                 Am     Cm
With rooftops where the tar is warm
      C      D                Em (see tab) A7
Where I’m so lonesome I could drown
    C            D               G
And no one would kneel themselves down

[Walk down from G to E7]
        E7
To fish me
C          D
Save maybe Beth
C          D
Save maybe Beth
C          D     G
Save maybe Betha-ny
