32 footsteps leading to the room where the paint doesn't want to dry

32 footsteps running down the road where the dirt reaches the sky

32 feathers in my brand new indian headdress

32 new moons shining in 32 skies

Eb - F -

What's the reason? why'd you go? where's my baby? I don't know

32 footsteps - counted them myself - 32 footsteps

Bing bang bingalong, sing sang singalong, ting tang tingalong tay...

ping pang pingalong, king kang kingalong, hing hang hingalong hay...

jing jang jingalong, king kang kingalong, ling lang lingalong lay...

ming mang mingalong, ning nang ningalong, ping pang pingalong pay...

What's the reason? why'd you go? where's my baby? I don't know

32 lies my ears never saw when the floorboard gave way

32 walls come tumbling down when night turns to day

32 infantrymen running in place

32 boxcars all of them have your face

What's the reason? why'd you leave? don't you know we're on the eve of

32 footsteps - counted them myself - 32 footsteps

twenty-eight... twenty-nine... thirty...

thirty-one
