[Intro]
A C D G A E
[Chorus]
A C
Standing on hallowed ground
D G
standing on hallowed ground
A C
All folks like to stand here
E
And they're not even from this town
A C
When I make myself some money
D F
And my path in life is found
A E A
I'm taking off to find my hallowed ground
[Verse]
E A C
Well, I'm drinking in the graveyard
D F
And I'm roving through the park
A C
Dreaming through the daytime
E
And just waiting for the dark
A C
Cause that's when I can see them
D G F
Pouring out the Cutty Sark
A E
Stamping their bony feet to leave their mark
[Chorus]
A C
Stamping on hallowed ground
D F
stamping on hallowed ground
A C
All folks like to stamp here
E
And they're not even from this town
A C
When I make myself some money
D F
And my path in life is found
A E A E
I'm taking off to find my hallowed ground
[Instrumental]
A C A D F A C D E A C A D F A F E A E
[Verse]
A C
Well, they hung them from the windows
D F
And they burnt them at the stake
A Am
All their misdemeanors
E
But they may have made mistakes
A C
So keep your cauldrons quiet
D F
And keep your neck in brace
A F A E
You're lucky to be living in this place
[Chorus]
A C
Living on hallowed ground
D F
living on hallowed ground
A C
All types like to live here
E
And they're not even from this town
A C
When I make myself some money
D F
And my path in life is found
A F Am A E
I'm taking off to find my hallowed ground
[Instrumental]
A C D F A C E A D F A F E A E
[Verse]
A C
Well, the pyres are all ashes
D F
And the water's running clear
A C
The screaming of repentance
E
Is too distant now to hear
A C
So I'll row my boat like Flora
D G F
And I'll ride like Paul Revere
A F E A E
I'm going to get the fuck away from here
[Chorus]
A C
Get the fuck away from hallowed ground
D F
get away from hallowed ground
A C
People, get away here
E
Well, I'm trying to get out of this town
A C
When I make myself some money
D F
And my path in life is found
A F E A D
Well, I'm taking off to find my hallowed ground
A F E A D
Well, I'm taking off to find my hallowed ground
A F E A
Well, I'm taking off to find my hallowed ground
