[Intro]
F C Bb C x2
[Verse 1]
F C Bb C
He was just a social drinker but social every night
F C Bb C
He enjoyed a pint or two or three or four
F C Bb C
She was just a silent thinker, silent every night
F C Bb C
He'd enjoyed the thought of killing her before
F C Bb C
Well he was very rarely drunk but very rarely sober
F C Bb C
And he didn't think the problem was his drink
F C Bb C
But he only knew his problem when he knocked her over
F C Bb C
And when the rotting flesh began to stink
[Chorus]
F C Bb C
Cry freedom for the woman in the wall
F C Bb C
Cry freedom for she has no voice at all
F C Dm Bb
I hear her cry all day, all night
F C Dm Bb
I hear her voice from deep within the wall
F C
Made a cross from knitting needles
Dm Bb
Made a grave from hoover bags
F C F
Especially for the woman in the wall
[Verse 2]
F C Bb C
She'd knitted him a jumper with dominoes on it
F C Bb C
So he wore it everyday in every week
F C Bb C
Pretended to himself that she hadn't really gone
F C Bb C
And pretended that he thought he heard her speak
F C Bb C
And then at last it seemed that he was really winning
F C Bb C
He felt that he had some sort of grip
F C Bb C
But all of his new life was sent a-spinning
F C Bb C
When the rotting wall began to drip
[Chorus]
F C Bb C
Cry freedom for the woman in the wall
F C Bb C
Cry freedom for she has no voice at all
F C Dm Bb
I hear her cry all day, all night
F C Dm Bb
I hear her voice from deep within the wall
F C
Made a cross from knitting needles
Dm Bb
Made a grave from hoover bags
F C F C Bb C
Especially for the woman in the wall
[Outro]
F C Bb C
