Pretty straightforward tab, Just a few variations on Am Dm and E throughout
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?
Chorus:
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
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 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
Instrumental Outro follows the same pattern as the chorus, ending on Am
