A 
M y heart's in the ice house Come hill or come valley 
D 
Like a long ago Sunday when I walked through the alley 
A                                 E 
On a cold winter's morning to a church house 
                         A 
Just to shovel some snow 

A 
I heard sirens on the train track Howl naked gettin' nuder 
D 
An alter boy's been hit by a local commuter 
A                                               E 
Just from walking with his back turned to the train 
                       A 
That was coming so slow
