She's the dying heart of this ragged old town
AmE
She done dug her own grave in the rocky soil ground
AmDm
But now she know she ain't gonna lay down until the wolf has gone away
AmEAm
And the hunter come around no one knows what's come around
AmDm
And in the golden days of the terror-less time
AmE
She never needed anybody around tell her how to keep her worries in line
AmDm
But now she won't go outside to see that there ain't no wolf just a boy in the street
AmEAm
Howlin' up into the sky, don't they howl into the sky?
DmAm
Don't you hear the sound of ghosts comin' from the grave?
DmE
Don't you do it like we done when we had our way?
DmAm
There ain't no knight no haunted hero gonna save the day
AmEAm
So get off the floor and move on before you whither away
3: Guitar cuts to percussive knocking on the body (bass chords follow the same pattern)
And in the cold dark night, creakin' on wood floors and walls
Paralyzed by the fear of the fright she won't move a muscle at all
She cries, "Oh Lord come and take me away! Stood all I can now I can't stand to stay.
Send ole Gabriel down, don't he always come around?"
DmAm
Don't you hear the sound of ghosts comin' from the grave?
DmE
Don't you do it like we done when we had our way?
DmAm
There ain't no knight no haunted hero gonna save the day
AmEAm
So get off the floor and move on before you whither away
