D                          G   F#m   Em  D
Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit.
D                           G   F#m D G
Blessed is the lamb whose blood flows.
G                                           D
Blessed are the sat upon, Spat upon, Ratted on,
D        F#m      Em     G     D
O Lord, Why have you forsaken me?

Am/D
I got no place to go,
Bm                              Am/D
I've walked around Soho for the last night or so.
Bm                         Am D
Ah, but it doesn't matter, no.

Blessed is the land and the kingdom
Blessed is the man whose soul belongs to
Blessed are the meth drinkers, pot sellers,
illusion dwellers
O Lord, why have you forsaken me?

My words trickle down
From a wound that I have no intention to heal

Blessed are the stained glass, windowpane glass
Blessed is the church service, makes me nervous
Blessed are the penny rookers, cheap hookers,
groovy lookers
O Lord, why have you forsaken me?

I...
I have tended my own garden much too long
