[Verse 1]
G          C            G        
My lover left me, she left me too 
  C
soon.
G               C             
  I shouldn't blame her, for the 
     G          C
state of my room.
G           C          G         
I started stumbling, chasing the 
 C
bells.
     G             C              
The metal straps upon my knees 
      G              C
made this sound when I fell
 D
You heard those words from your 
peers
                       G   C   G  
I was just your volunteer.

    G              C
Georgie's our friend.
     G              C             
He spends his life fishing, washes
G            C
 dishes weekends.
        D
And I tried to say something sincere
                      G   C   G   
Sign me up I'll volunteer.

My Father left us, he left us too 
  C
soon.
G                   C            
I thought he'd say something, but
     G                C
 he waltzed from the room.
G        C             G         
All I remember is my hands at my 
  C
sides.
     G         C         G       
The face of a woman who once was 
      C
his bride.
D
All that he left us was tears
                             G   C
And a couple of lonely volunteers.
   G   C

D
All that he left her was tears

And a couple of lonely volunteers.

Now we look for sister Mary, 
  G           C
sister Mary's the pale.
      G              C         
She holds her head sometimes and 
       G              C
walks close to the rail.
      G          C        G      
She sings on a Sunday, stands in 
      C
the stairs.
G              C                 
Haunts me at night time when I've
     G          C
 forgotten my prayers.
D
We don't see much of her here
                        G   C   G
That winter-weary volunteer.

{Verse 5]
G              C          G     
Captains need order it helps 
        C
them stay sane.
G                C                
Plumbers hate slaughter, 'cause it
 G              C
 fucks up the drains.
G              C                
Hard hats must be worn at all 
G           C
times on the site.
G             C               
It makes no difference if you're 
    G            C
lost in the light.
     D
The men here have lost their careers
                              G   
And they don't talk to volunteers.

[Verse 6]
G              C           G    
How your life cuts me, it cuts 
       C
to my bone.
     G                C           
We pretend that it's nothing, when
       G           C
 we're on our way home.
       D
And I wish you'd abandon me here
                          G   C   
So I could be your volunteer.
