I saw her today, I saw her face
F#m
It was the face I loved and I knew
A F#m
I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray
That they’d go away
A A Asus2 A Asus2 Asus4 A Asus2 A
But still they begin
F#m
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins…
[Verse 1]
E G F#
I heard somebody fixed today
F E G F# F
There was no last goodbyes to say
E G F#
His will to live ran out
F E G F# F
I heard somebody turned to dust
E G F#
Looking back at what he left
F E G F# F
A list of plans and photographs
E G F#
Songs that never will be sung
F E
These are the things he won’t get done
G F# F
The things he won’t get done…
[Chorus]
E5 G5 F#5 F5
I’ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man
E5 G5 F#5 F5
I’ve seen them crawl from the cradle to the gutter on their hands
E5 G5 F#5 F5
They fight a war but it’s fatal, it’s so hard to understand
E5 G5 F#5 F5 E5
I’ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man

[Verse 2]
G F#
Just one shot to say goodbye
F E G F# F
One last taste to mourn and cry
E G F#
Scores and shoots, the lights go dim
F E G F# F
Just one shot to do him in
E G F#
He hangs his head and wonders why
F E G F# F
Why the monkey only lies, lies, lies, lies…
E G F#
But pay the pauper, he did choose
F E
He hung his head inside the noose
G F# F
He hung his head inside the noose, oh…
[Chorus]
E5 G5 F#5 F5
I’ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man

I’ve seen them crawl from the cradle to the gutter on their hands
E5 G5 F#5 F5
They fight a war but it’s fatal, it’s so hard to understand
E5 G5 F#5 F5
I’ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle in his hand man
F#5 A5 G#5 G5
Cryptic writings on the wall, the beginning of the end
F#5 A5 G#5 G5 E5
I’ve seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hand
