[Verse 1]
Bm F# C Em A C Bm
I lost my wife in 1989 to a certain kind of undetectable cancer
Bm F# C Em
She left me alone in a 7 bedroom home
A C Bm
Built upon the bones of fallen soldiers
[Pre-Chorus]
A Bm
I don’t recall putting that picture on the wall
F# G F#
The one of mother and child at Easter time
[Chorus]
Bm F# G D F#
I hear strange things, creeping in the night
Bm F# Em A Bm
I have strange dreams in the bed where Lucy died
(repeat chorus chords for oos)
[Verse 2]
Bm F# C Em
The day that Lucy died was the hottest of the summer
A C Bm
The family all stood around her sweating
Bm F# C Em
When she expired they all went back to the city
A C Em
And I’ve never seen a living soul again
[Pre-Chorus]
A Bm
I buried her down beneath the garden Lucy proudly grew
F# G F#
The whitest room that ever was in bloom
[Chorus]
Bm F# G D F#
I hear strange things, creeping in the night
Bm F# Em A Bm
I have strange dreams in the bed where Lucy died
Bm F# G D F#
I hear strange things, creeping in the night
Bm F# Em A Bm
I have strange dreams in the bed where Lucy died
