So pure in thought and word and deed 
     Em               F# 
They didn't quite succeed

Father forgive me  
Dm 
   I tried not to do it 
F#m 
    Turned over a new leaf 
Bm 
   Then tore right through it 
 
Whatever you taught me 
Dm 
   I didn't believe it 
F#m 
    Father you fought me 
         G                 A
