Artist: Brown Bird
She's the dying he[Am]art of this ragged old town [Dm]
She done [Am]dug her own grave in the rocky soil ground [E]
But now she [Am]know she ain't gonna lay down until the [Dm]wolf has gone away
And the hunter come a[Am]round no one k[E]nows what's come aro[Am]und
And in the golden d[Am]ays of the terror-less time[Dm]
She never needed any[Am]body around tell her how to keep her worries in line[E]
But now she won't [Am]go outside to see that there ain't no w[Dm]olf just a boy in the street
Howlin' up into the s[Am]ky, don't they [E]howl into the s[Am]ky?
[CHORUS]
[Dm]Don't you hear the sound of g[Am]hosts comin' from the grave?
[Dm]Don't you do it like we [E]done when we had our way?
[Dm]There ain't no knight no haunted [Am]hero gonna save the day
So get [Am]off the floor and move o[E]n before you whither aw[Am]ay
Verse 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?"
[CHORUS]
[Dm]Don't you hear the sound of gh[Am]osts comin' from the grave?
[Dm]Don't you do it like we d[E]one when we had our way?
[Dm]There ain't no knight no haunted [Am]hero gonna save the day
So get o[Am]ff the floor and move [E]on before you whither a[Am]way
Instrumental Outro follows the same pattern as the chorus, ending on Am
