[Verse 1]
Am                                   Em
Tell me how are you coping, now that it's time to go?
Am                      Em        G
Do you see the chariots, swinging low?
Dm          D             Am
Up over the huon pine and out to the snow
    Em                     D         G   Am
How much treachery can you possibly know?
 
Em                   G
 
[Chorus]
         Am                               Em
Well the chaplain loves you death row boys
           G
More than me
          Am                        Em               G
As though I have a choice, you pour in from the trees
           D                      Am
You say an Irish boy should never wear the hood
      Em                          Dm       D  Am
But I wear it for you and you are here for me
 
Em                  G
 
[Verse 2]
Am
Tell me how are you coping
         Em                Gm
Now that it's time to leave
    Am                             Em               Gm
How can you burn more, you've been burning for years
     Dm                             Am
They assumed when you fled that you were good as dead
          Em                             Dm          Am
Was their indifference crueler than your nothing to eat?

[Verse 3]
    Am                       Em            G
How much of the venom does a tiger snake eat?
           Am
There ain't no whores in heaven
           Em           G
There's no boys at your feet
            D         Dm
And tell me how do we taste?
       Am               Em
It's a curious place, a mountain
             Dm
To resort to customs of the sea
 
Em                G
 
[Chorus]
           Am                               Em
Yeah, your chaplain loves you death row boys
 
More than me
   Am
He abandons you to prayer
           Em
Then turns so he won't see
    Dm                     Am
You standing alone, as you were all along
       Em                 Dm                Am
To descend fear first, abscond from the earth
 Em
Alone
 
[Outro]
         Dm
Yeah, we were meant to meet
     Am
Your exile is reached
       Em
You're home
           Dm
Eh, you're home
       Am
You're home
       Em
You're home
             Dm
Yeah, you're home
       Am
You're home
       Em
You're home
