Fmaj7   D              C
When he finds them the rest makes me shiver
G             C                G
He holds them down where their feet
                 C
 won't reach the ground
       Em            D           C

track him down
      Em      D            C
And I pray to do the right thing
      Em      D            C
Yes I pray to do the right thing

So he finds the man and shares with him

He feels guilty for what he's done
    Fmaj7                   D
I'm sorry you see for these awful deeds
    Fmaj7             D
Now what must I do to purge them

Well my son you must be baptised

Yes he waits for the lords will to
   C
be done
