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?

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 

Verso 3: 

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?"
