Biografía:
Neil Halstead es un cantautor inglés. Fue miembro fundador de Slowdive (1989-1995), banda asociada al género shoegaze. En 1995, tras la marcha de dos de sus miembros, el grupo se reformó bajo el nombre de Mojave 3, con un estilo musical más próximo al folk, el country y el dream pop. Halstead es el principal cantante y compositor en ambas bandas, además de tocar la guitarra.
En 2002, publica su debut en solitario, "Sleeping on Roads", y en 2008 lanza un segundo disco, "Oh! Mighty Engine".

[Verse 1]
C C/B A G
Martha takes the greyhounds
F G F G
she says she lost her mantra way down South
C C/B A G F G F
but all that repetition just got her down, got her down
[Bridge 1]
E F
Now she says she won't do drugs
E F
because she found something to love
E F
she cured herself of everything
E F
there's nothing left but hair and skin
[Chorus 1]
F G
The only thing I asked her
F G
was did she have a plaster
F G
for my pain, oh for the pain
[Verse 2]
C C/B A G
She closed her eyes and took my hand,
F G F G
she said "God might have a plan for me"
C C/B A G
But making love in Martha's room
F G F G
I felt like I could see through her to him
[Bridge 2]
E F
But heaven is the place that's open
E F
when all the bars in town are closed and
E F E F
heaven is the place, I'll never find
[Chorus 2]
F G
The only thing I told her
F G
was that God would have no answer
F G F
for my pain, oh for the pain
(Verse and Chorus chords are played with reverb here when he plays live)
[Verse 3]
C C/B A G
She threw my clothes against the wall
F G
she said "I've met your type before
F G F
don't go, oh don't go"
C C/B A G
I've cured myself of everything
F G F G
and now I think I know what makes you tick
[Bridge 3]
E F
She tied my hands above my head
E F
and said a prayer and fetched a whip
E F
she said the devil hides within my heart
[Chorus 3]
F G
The only thing I asked her
F G
was did she have a plaster
F G F
for my pain, oh for the pain
F G F
oh for the pain, oh for the pain
