Grease in our hair

Hands in our pock ets

We stood and stared

We placed our bets

Hard from the gar den
A         E
She had a plan
    D
For me to preach one day
F#m            Bm7
She prayed for rain

She watched and she waited
    F#m        Bm7
And never comp lained
        D            E
When it did not fall
