verse 1 
A 
A postcard arrives 
A 
I see you're on your walk well I hope the promised land 
F#m 
Is more than sand and rocks and camels swapped for wives 
E 
Before you saddle up 
E 
Before your Judas knocks 3 times and betrays you to the cops 
Em 
Spare a thought for our worries over your state of mind 
A 
So what if you leave behind some trouble with the law? 
                                  F#m 
It's not so long since your attempt to crucify their dog 
                                      E 
Your chosen one, the one whose cross will blaze on high 
                                                                                          Em 
To warn us that meteoric retribution falls down from the skies 

Well I don't give a fuck about that 
 

Bm            E 
(Cos you cannot)(?) be still my brother 
Bm            E 
(An ancient memory)(?), Father, Mother 
Bm            E 
Don't take them down any further 
A            D            Bm 
Just 'cos hell won't leave you alone 
A            D            Dm              A 
Just 'cos hell won't l-e-a-v-e you alone... 

verse 2 
A 
You swan in Craigtoun Pond 
A 
Clad only in your socks 
F#m 
And you've ran naked in the snow 

Upon your Calgary Rock 
                            E 
You've watched us with the Devil's Eye half closed behind your mind 
                                                        Em 
You know the day, the date, the time, but not the why 

Well I don't give a fuck about that!

Just 'cos hell won't leave you alone

Just 'cos hell won't l-e-a-v-e you alone...
