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.

it leaves the station.
