[Intro]
Em G D C
[Verse]
Em G D C
Nothing changes in a dreary coastal town
Am C G
Something strange is going down, behind the curtain
Em G D C
Ancient secrets hidden somewhere underground
Am C G
Where they're never to be found, can't be certain
Am C G
Hear the warning from a distant drum
Am C D
Something dark and wicked this way down
Em G D C
Crooked stranger, it's this for tonight he brings
Am C G
For each and every living thing within our border
Em G D C
Town officials make their grand and costly plan
Am C G
But our blood is on the hand of every corner
C C G
No one told me, they'd be nice like me
C G D
Spirits dance to, haunted melodies
[Chorus]
Am C Em
Kerosene & Candlelight keep us from the dark of night
Am C Em D
By the flicker of the flame, shine on though the morning light
Am C Em
Casting shadows on the wall, God have mercy on us all
Am C
Cross your fingers and hold your tongue
Em D
For something wicked. This we call
Em G D C Em G D
Na-na, na-na, la-du da-da-dah, na-na, na-na
[Bridge]
Em Em G G Am Am C
Weeds grow through the pavement, here in our home town
Am C G
Where the roots dig deeper down, beneath the surface
[Chorus]
Am C Em
Kerosene & Candlelight keep us from the dark of night
Am C Em D
By the flicker of the flame, shine on though the morning light
Am C Em
Casting shadows on the wall, God have mercy on us all
Am C
Cross your fingers and hold your tongue
Em D
For something wicked. This we call
Em G D C Em G D
Na-na, na-na, la-du da-da-dah, na-na, na-na
[Outro]
Em G D C Em G D
Na-na, na-na, la-du da-da-dah, na-na, na-na
