[A] [G]
I was under the Calvary [F] cross,
[Am] [G] the pale faith lady, she said to [F] me,
[Am] [G] I've watched you with
my one green [F] eye,
[Am] [G]
I've heard you tell me you need [F] me.
[Am] [G] You scrub your heels and you spit on [F] your shoes, [Am] [G]
you do nothing with a [F] reason.
[Am] [G] One day you catch a [F] train, [Am] and [G]
it leaves the station.
[C]
Everything you [Em] do, [F]
everything you [D] do, [C] you do for me.
[G] Now
[F]
[Am] [G]
you can make believe on your [F] tombstone,
[A] [G]
and you can be my broom [F] boy.
[Am] [G]
Scrub me till I shine in the [F] dark,
[A] [G]
I'll be like Vildur's [F] axe.
[Am] [G] Oh, there's a black cat across your [F] path,
[Am] [G] and why don't you follow?
[F]
[Am] [G]
[F]
This [Am] [G] is your burden, death, and sorrow.
[C]
Everything you [Em] do, [F]
everything you [D] do, [C] you do for me.
