[Verse]
Am
Down
Dm
Under the ground
Am
There's a town there
E
I've been down there
Am Dm
In the middle of the lake
E Am
I hold your hand for goodness' sake
[Verse]
Am Dm
When the women and the kids are asleep
Am
The walls there
E
And the skin of the sheep
Am Dm
So lock all the windows and doors
E Am
The Devil's coming for you and yours
[Chorus]
Dm G
Love was all that it could give
C F
But it died so other towns could live
Dm G
They don't bury bodies from the drowned
C F
But they drowned our little town
[Bridge]
Dm Am
Like a lamb to his slaughter
Dm
Buried in water
Am
Buried in water
Dm
Buried in water
[Verse]
Am
When the leaves
Dm
Go floating away
Am E
In the pale moonlight of day
Am Dm
Iury anchors in our ghosts
E Am
And we can let our heartbeats go
[Chorus]
Dm G
Love was all that it could give
C F
But it died so other towns could live
Dm G
They don't bury bodies from the drowned
C F
But they drowned our little town
[Outro]
Dm Am
We're like the lambs to its slaughter
Dm
Buried in water
Am
Buried in water
Dm
Buried in water
