[Verso 1]
C#m
Eight days straight
G#
Strapped down to a hospital Bed
C#m
‘Cause you took spray paint
G#
And scribbled Peace on the walls of the city
C#m
When policemen came
G# A
Not a quiet surrender was what you gave, oh
E
When they brought you home

[Refrão]
A
You tore off your clothes
E
And danced in the garden
A
Singing halleluiah, oh
E
When they brought you home
A
The poems you wrote
E
About a brave young girl

And the snake that swallowed her whole

Your mother cried
G#
When you told her

C#m
She was terrified
G#
Called me up pleaded
Won’t you come see her?
C#m
And upon arrival
G#
You ran outside
A
To cartwheel down the drive
E
When they brought you home
