Deep in the Woods
View chords used in this chart
Gm F#m/C#
The woods eats the woman
Gm F#m/C# Gm
and dumps her honey-body in the mud
Gm F#m/C#
Her dress floats down the well
Gm F#m/C# Gm F#m/C# Gm
and it assumes the shape of the body of a little girl
Yeah I recognize that girl
She stumbled in some time last loneliness
But I could not stand to touch her now
My one and onlyness.
Chorus
Gm
Deep in the woods, Deep in the woods
Em D A F#m
Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging.
Worms make their cruel design
Saying D-I-E into her skin
Saying DEAD into belly and DEATH into shoulder
Well last night she kissed me but than DEATH was upon her.
Chorus
Now the killed waits for the killer
And the trees all nod their heads, they are agreed
This knife feels like a knife feels like a knife that feels like it's feed.
Yeah I recognize that girl
I took her from rags right through to stitches (pray for me now)
Oh baby, tonight we sleep in separate ditches.
Chorus
Bm Bb
Love is for fools and all fools are lovers
Bm Bb
It's raining on my house and none of the others
Bm Bb
Love is for fools and God knows I'm still one
Bm Bb
The sidewalks are filled with love's lonely children (3X this line)
E B
The sidewalk regrets that we had to kill them.
