[F] [Am] [G]
[F] [Am]
[G]I was under the Calvary [F]Cross[Am]
[G]The pale-face lady she said to [F]me[Am]
[G]I've watched you with my one green [F]eye.[Am]
[G]And I'll hurt you 'till you need me.[Am][F]
[G]You scuff your heels and you spit on your [F]shoes.[Am]
[G]You do nothing with reason[Am][F]
[G]One day you catch a train[Am][F]
[G]Never leaves the station.[Am][F]
Chorus
[C]Everything you do
F (8th fret)
Everything you do
[C]You do for [G]me
Now you can make believe on your tin whistle
You can be my broom boy
Scrub me 'till I shine in the dark
I'll be your light 'till doomsday
Black cat cross your path.
Why don't you follow
My claw's in you and my light's in you
This is your first day of sorrow
Chorus
