THE CALVARY CROSS Richard Thompson Transcribed by Phil Saunders Fabulous guitar intro not transcribed--I'd love to have this
FAmG FAm GFAm I was under the Calvary Cross GFAm The pale-face lady she said to me GFAm I've watched you with my one green eye. GFAm And I'll hurt you 'till you need me. GFAm You scuff your heels and you spit on your shoes. GFAm You do nothing with reason GFAm One day you catch a train GFAm Never leaves the station.
CHORUS C Everything you do F (8th fret) Everything you do CG You do for 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
