Am Dm
She's the dying heart of this ragged old town
Am E
She done dug her own grave in the rocky soil ground
Am Dm
But now she know she ain't gonna lay down until the wolf has gone away
Am E Am
And the hunter come around no one knows what's come around
Am Dm
And in the golden days of the terror-less time
Am E
She never needed anybody around tell her how to keep her worries in line
Am Dm
But now she won't go outside to see that there ain't no wolf just a boy in the street
Am E Am
Howlin' up into the sky, don't they howl into the sky?
Dm Am
Don't you hear the sound of ghosts comin' from the grave?
Dm E
Don't you do it like we done when we had our way?
Dm Am
There ain't no knight no haunted hero gonna save the day
Am E Am
So get off the floor and move on before you whither away
Verso 3:
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?"
Dm Am
Don't you hear the sound of ghosts comin' from the grave?
Dm E
Don't you do it like we done when we had our way?
Dm Am
There ain't no knight no haunted hero gonna save the day
Am E Am
So get off the floor and move on before you whither away
