[Verse 1]
G C G C
My lover left me, she left me too soon.
G C G C
I shouldn't blame her, for the state of my room.
G C G C
I started stumbling, chasing the bells.
G C G C
The metal straps upon my knees made this sound when I fell
D
You heard those words from your peers
G C G C G C G C
I was just your volunteer.
[Verse 2]
G C G C
We love uncle Georgie, uncle Georgie's our friend.
G C G C
He spends his life fishing, washes dishes weekends.
D
And I tried to say something sincere
G C G C G C G C
Sign me up I'll volunteer.
[Verse 3]
G C G C
My Father left us, he left us too soon.
G C G C
I thought he'd say something, but he waltzed from the room.
G C G C
All I remember is my hands at my sides.
G C G C
The face of a woman who once was his bride.
D
All that he left us was tears
G C G C
And a couple of lonely volunteers.
D
All that he left her was tears
G C G C G C G C G C G C
And a couple of lonely volunteers.
[Verse 4]
G C G C
Now we look for sister Mary, sister Mary's the pale.
G C G C
She holds her head sometimes and walks close to the rail.
G C G C
She sings on a Sunday, stands in the stairs.
G C G C
Haunts me at night time when I've forgotten my prayers.
D
We don't see much of her here
G C G C G C G C
That winter-weary volunteer.
{Verse 5]
G C G C
Captains need order it helps them stay sane.
G C G C
Plumbers hate slaughter, 'cause it fucks up the drains.
G C G C
Hard hats must be worn at all times on the site.
G C G C
It makes no difference if you're lost in the light.
D
The men here have lost their careers
G C G C G C G C
And they don't talk to volunteers.
[Verse 6]
G C G C
How your life cuts me, it cuts to my bone.
G C G C
We pretend that it's nothing, when we're on our way home.
D
And I wish you'd abandon me here
G C G C G C G C G C G
So I could be your volunteer.
