Stand clear of the closing doors 
                           G 
Stand clear of the closing hearts 
                           D# 
Stand clear of the closing heads 
                           C 
Stand clear of the closing legs 

                          A 
Stand clear of the bloody loss 
                            G 
Stand clear of the booring chores 
                               D# 
Stand clear of the mesmerizing cross 
                              C 
Stand clear of the dominating stores 

Stand clear of the closing souls 
Stand clear of the hideous crimes 
Stand clear of the poor souls 
Stand clear of the mounting grimes 
Of the lost souls stand clear 
Of the paralyzing tides stand clear 
Stand clear of the dirty souls 
Of the war weeping times stand clear 

Stand clear of the bloody cross 
Stand clear of the blearing sounds 
Stand clear of the bloody laws 
Stand clear of the hare and hounds 
Stand clear of the bloody souls 
Of the opressing bounds stand clear
