She was (D minor) screaming as she fell,
but I (A minor) never heard her (D minor) hit

[Bass]
(D minor) Gather round boys to this tale that I tell
You want to know how to take

It's (D minor) guaranteed to get your own place in hell
Just take your lovely daughter
and push her in the well
(D minor) Take your lovely daughter
and (A minor) throw her in the well (D minor)

Don't (D minor) speak to me of lovers,
with a broken heart
You want to know
what can really tear you apart?
I'm (D minor) going out to the
barn, will I never stop in pain?
I'm going out to the barn,
to hang myself in shame
