Verse 1
(G major) There's a tall thin man standing
in the shad (C major) ows
When he (G major) calls your name,
his voice is strong and clear (C major)
It's a (G major) dark and smoky place,
(A minor) so you (C major) can't quite see his face
He (G major) pulls you close and
whispers in your ear (C major)
Verse 2
And he (G major) tells you he was
born into some (C major) money
But it (G major) didn't mean he had to sit around (C major)
And he (G major) knows a thing or two about
the (C major) things that you should do
(G major) If you don't want to take life lying (C major) down
