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 Chorus: 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 Chorus: 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
