Ragged Old Town

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 Guitar cuts to percussive knocking on the body (bass chords follow the same pattern) 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?" 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 Instr Outro follows the same pattern as the chorus, ending on Am
