A note before you start. The dashes ( ) represent beats that you hold or replay the previous chord (depending
on how you choose to play). Since most, but not all, chords are held for 4 beats, i tried to map out on which
words and syllables every beat would fall on (excluding the last verse where every note is held for 4 beats)
to help show which chords are 4 beats and which are not.
[Intro]
Cm
[Verse One]
Cm Fm
Deep in the woods there was a fire
G7
That burned with an evil desire
Cm
Desire to feed on the pain
Ab
A flame that would never retire
G7
A pyre that would drive you insane
And it said...
[Chorus]
Cm Ab Eb G Cm
Why don't you cast yourself on me?
Cm Ab Eb G Cm
I promise you won't feel a thing
Eb D G Cm
There's golden treasures underneath, you'll see
G Cm
Now please, give yourself to me
[Verse Two]
Cm Fm
Deep in the woods the fire grew higher
G7
The flesh would dissolve and expire
Cm
But the bones and the ashes remained
Ab
They whistled and snapped like a choir
G7
A chorus that cried out in vain
And it said...
[Chorus]
Cm Ab Eb G Cm
Why don't you cast yourself on me?
Cm Ab Eb G Cm
I promise you won't feel a thing
Eb D G Cm
There's golden treasures underneath, you'll see
G
Now please, give yourself to me
[Bridge](Same as chorus)
Cm Ab Eb G Cm
Cm Ab Eb G Cm
Eb D G Cm
G
[Verse Three/Outro](Play chord once and hold)
Cm Fm
Deep in the woods, there's still a fire
G7
That will never grow weary or tired
Cm
And draws closer and closer each day
Ab
And In bed when you start to perspire
G7
Pray you don't hear that refrain
(Give yourself to me)
