Verse 1
Em
D
I thought I'd take a walk today
Em
It's a mistake I sometimes make
My kids lay asleep in bed
D
My wife lay wide-awake
Em
D
I I kissed her softly on the brow
I tried not to make a sound
Em
But with stony eyes she looked at me
D
Em
And gently squeezed my hand
Call it a premonition,
D
Em
call it a crazy vision
D
Call it intuition, something learned
Em
from mother
But when she looked up at me,
D
I could clearly see
Em
The sword of Damocles
D
hanging directly above her
Em
D
Em
Oh lord, oh my lord
D
Oh lord
G
How have I offended thee?

Verse 2
Em
They called at me through the
D
fence
They were not making any sense
Em
They claimed that I had lost the plot
D
Kept saying that I was not
Em
The man I used to be
D
They held their babes aloft
Em
Threw marshmallows at the security
D
Em
And said that I'd grown soft
Call it intuition,
D
call it a creeping suspicion,
Em
D
But their words of derision meant
Em
they hardly knew me
D
For even I could see in the
way they stared at me
Em
D
The spear of destiny
Em
sticking right through me
D
Em
Oh lord, oh my lord
D
Oh lord
G
How have I offended thee?
C
Cm
Wrap your tender arms round me
G
D
Oh lord, oh lord
Em

Oh my

lord

Verse 3
Em
D
Now I'm at the hairdressers
People watch me as they move past
Em
A guy wearing plastic antlers
D
Presses his bum against the glass
Em
Now I'm down on my hands and knees
D
And it's so fucking hot!
Em
Someone cries,
"What are you looking for?"
D
I scream, "The plot, the plot!"
Em
I grab my telephone,
D
I call my wife at home
Em
D
She screams, "Leave us alone!" I say,
"Hey, it's only me"
Em
The hairdresser with his scissors,
D
he holds up the mirror
Em
I look back and shiver,
D
Em
I can't even believe what I can see

Verse 4
Em
Be mindful of the prayers you send
D
Pray hard but pray with care
Em
For the tears that you are crying now
D
Are just your answered prayers
Em
The ladders of life that we scale merrily
D
Move mysteriously around
Em
So that when you think
you're climbing up, man
D
In fact you're climbing down
Em
D
Into the hollows of glamour,
where with spike and hammer
Em
With telescopic camera,
D
they chose to turn the screw
Em
Oh I hate them, ma!
D
Oh I hate them, pa!
Em
D
Oh I hate them all for what they
Em
went and done to you
D
Em
Oh lord, oh my lord
D
Oh lord
G
How have I offended thee?
C
Cm
Wrap your tender arms 'round me
G
D
Oh lord, oh lord
Em
Oh my lord
