Grey Walls
F#m A G
I took my darling down, I took my darling down

To that big grey house down the lane
F#m A G
And then the doctor said, he said "It's in her head

She's never going to be right again"
Am D Am D
I kissed my love goodbye, she didn't blink an eye
Am D B
They took her down the hall, she never looked back at all
Chorus:
G Dm
Oh behind grey walls, somewhere there's a soul
G Dm
Behind grey walls, she's out of control
Em7
She's crying out for help, no-one can hear
A7 B
O Lord have pity on her, O Lord have pity on her

My darling walks the floor, my darling walks the floor

She walks every minute that she can

I heard my darling say, I heard my darling say

That she don't know who I am

Cigarette burns down her arm, said she tried to do herself harm

Tied her arms in the back, trussed her up like a sack
Chorus

I saw my darling's face, I saw my darling's face

It looked so pale in the distance

She stared out from her room into the dying gloom

And I saw her poor tears glisten

Pills to keep her calm, more punctures than a junkie in her arm

Strapped her on the bed, seventy volts through her head
Chorus
