The door-to-door in

His knuckles bare and

Is rapping on your

He

night
Am9
He’s travelled from the

Now sits to eat his

He scowls at last week’s

CHORUS 2
Oh he’ll
C
drop you where you
G7sus4
stand
He’ll pump your
C
brow and smash your
G7sus4
hands
Give you the

To light you

dimly to the end of your

days
C/G
G7
Oh he’ll
C
drop you where you

stand
Then journey

hands
And to his

go
Passion not
