All I remember is my hands at my sides.
   G+G     C majorC     G+G       C majorC
The face of a woman who once was his bride.
D MajorD
All that he left us was tears
               G+G  C majorC  G+G  C majorC
And a couple of lonely volunteers.

She holds her head sometimes and walks close to the rail.
   G+G     C majorC    G+G      C majorC
She sings on a Sunday, stands in the stairs.
G+G       C majorC           G+G     C majorC

We don't see much of her here

That winter-weary volunteer.

Captains need order it helps them stay sane.

Plumbers hate slaughter, 'cause it f**ks up the drains.
G+G       C majorC        G+G      C majorC
Hard hats must be worn at all times on the site.
G+G       C majorC          G+G      C majorC
It makes no difference if you're lost in the light.
   D MajorD
The men here have lost their careers
               G+G  C majorC  G+G  C majorC  G+G  C majorC  G+G  C majorC

So I could be your volunteer.
