Key:
F#m A I took my darling down, I took myG darling down To that big grey house down the laneF#m A And then the doctor said, he saidG "It's in her head She's never going to be right again"Am D Am I kissed my love goodbye, sheD didn't blink an eyeAm D They took her down the hall, sheB never looked back at all Chorus:G Dm Oh behind grey walls, somewhere there's a soulContinues after the adG Dm Behind grey walls, she's out of controlEm7 She's crying out for help, no-one can hearA7 B O Lord have pity on her, O Lord have pity on her My darling walks the floor, my darling walks the floor She walks every minute that she can I heard my darling say, I heard my darling say That she don't know who I am Cigarette burns down her arm, said she tried to do herself harm Tied her arms in the back, trussed her up like a sack Chorus I saw my darling's face, I saw my darling's face It looked so pale in the distance She stared out from her room into the dying gloom And I saw her poor tears glisten Pills to keep her calm, more punctures than a junkie in her arm Strapped her on the bed, seventy volts through her head
