[Verse 1]
 
 Em7        Am5
     I asked my father,
                                Em7
     I said, "Father change my name."
                 Am5
     The one I'm using now it's covered up
                                            Em7
     with fear and filth and cowardice and shame.
 
[Chorus]
 
              C3
     Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
                        G3
     lover, lover come back to me,
              C3
     yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
                        G3
     lover, lover come back to me.
 
[Verse 2]
                  Am5...
     He said, "I locked you in this body, 
     I meant it as a kind of trial.
     You can use it for a weapon,
     or to make some woman smile."
 
[Chorus]
(same as above)
 
      yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
      lover, lover come back to me.
 
[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)
 
     "Then let me start again," I cried,
     "please let me start again,
     I want a face that's fair this time,
     I want a spirit that is calm."
 
[Chorus]
(same as above)
 
     Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
     lover, lover come back to me
     yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
     lover, lover come back to me.
 
[Verse 4]
(same as verse 1)
 
     "I never never turned aside," he said,
     "I never walked away.
     It was you who built the temple,
     it was you who covered up my face."
 
[Chorus]
(same as above)
 
     yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
     lover, lover come back to me.
 
[Verse 5]
(same as verse 1)
 
     And may the spirit of this song,
     may it rise up pure and free.
     May it be a shield for you,
     a shield against the enemy.
 
[Chorus]
(same as above)
 
     Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
     lover, lover come back to me
     yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
     lover, lover come back to me.

This song can be more accessible to beginners by instead using Em & Am chords for the verses and C & G chords during the chorus
