The Woods

G Ab G Gm G C We went, the two of us into G The woods behind the little school Cm Two went in and one came home G We didn't go in there alone Am Your eyes were lovely as you danced C G G With centipedes and little ants Ab We built a fort of lover's teeth And some of mother's sheets G C Am Em I was a boy and I was good C But there are witches in these woods Gm G G They followed us into the trees Am G Cm Wearing crowns of twigs and leaves Gm C G You and I were in the mud Eb Paint ourselves with spider's blood G G Your eyes are lovely, dark and dense G G Gsus4 Pulling legs off salamanders G G Gsus4 Little creature you unspun Ab The skin and bones and brains and blood G While witches they surrounded us G C Am Em I was a boy and I was good C But there are witches in these woods Cm Caug Cm Caug Cm G C The nights are lovely, dark and deep G But I'll appear when you're asleep Eb You'll wake up with a sudden hurt Am G Mouth and nose all full of dirt G C We went, the two of us into G The woods behind the little school Ab Yeah, I'm still buried in the mud Cm Skin and bones and brains and blood
