Standard (EADGBE)

I thought I'd take a walk today

It's a mistake I sometimes make

The kids lay asleep in be-ed

My wife lay wide-awake

I kissed her softly on the bro-ow

I tried not to make a sound

But with stony eyes she looked at me

And gently squeezed my hand

(*)

Call it a premonition, call it a crazy vision

(*)

Call it intuitio-o-on, something learned from mother

(*)

But when she looked up at me, I could clearly see

(*)

The Sword of Damocles hanging directly above her

Oh Lord Oh my Lord

Oh Lord

How have I offended thee?

Wrap your tender arms around me

Oh Lord Oh Lord

Oh My Lo-o-o-ord

They called at me through the fence

They were not making any sense

They claimed that I had lost the plot

Kept saying that I was not

The man I used to be

They held their babes aloft

Threw marsh mellows at the Security

And said that I'd grown soft

Call it intuition, call it a creeping suspicion,

But their words of derision meant they hardly knew me

For even I could see in the way they looked at me

The Spear of Destiny sticking right through me

Oh Lord Oh my lord

Oh Lord

How have I offended thee?

Wrap your tender arms round me

Oh Lord Oh lord

Oh My Lord
