Em I thought I'd take a walk today D It's a mistake I sometimes make Em My children lay asleep in bed D My wife lay wide-awake Em I kissed her softly on the brow D I tried not to make a sound Em But with stony eyes she looked at me D And gently squeezed my hand Em D Call it a premonition, call it a crazy vision Em D Call it intuition, something learned from mother Em D But when she looked up at me, I could clearly see Em D Em The Sword of Damocles hanging directly above her D Em Oh Lord Oh my Lord D Oh Lord [Chorus] G G7 How have I offended thee? C Cm Wrap your tender arms around me G D Oh Lord Oh Lord Em D Oh My Lord [Verse 2] Em They called at me through the fence D 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 marsh mellows at the Security Em And said that I'd grown soft Em D Call it intuition, call it a creeping suspicion, Em D But their words of derision meant they hardly knew me Em D For even I could see in the way they looked at me Em D Em The Spear of Destiny sticking right through me D Em Oh Lord Oh my lord D Oh Lord [Chorus] G G7 How have I offended thee? C Cm Wrap your tender arms round me G D Oh Lord Oh lord Em D Oh My Lord [Verse 3] Em Now I'm at the hairdressers D 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 D I grab my telephone, I call my wife at home Em D She screams, "Leave us alone!" I say, "Hey, it's only me" Em D The hairdresser with his scissors, he holds up the mirror Em D I look back and shiver; I can't even believe what I can see [Solo] Em D [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 spikes and hammer Em D With telescopic camera, they chose to turn the screw Em D Oh I hate them, Ma! Oh I hate them, Pa! Em D Oh I hate them all for what they went and done to you G D Oh Lord Oh my Lord Em D Oh Lord [Chorus] G G7 How have I offended thee? C Cm Wrap your tender arms round me G D Oh Lord Oh Lord Em D Oh My Lord
