Intro:
Em 6x
(a rather complicated melody: the first three notes I somehow
cannot figure out. I'd appreciate comments on the intro; is it
played by one guitars and two banjos?)

Verses:
Em...
Time is red, time is deadly
Time under glass, time will tell (time will tell)
Em...
The tale of the widow who walks her web
Mourning the night, mourning the dead (mourning the dead)
Em...
Did you lose him to a broom trapped in a corner of the room
Or was it under the foot of the marching black boot (marching black boot)
Em...
Is it the loneliness of night that makes you reach out and bite
The unawakened flesh you lady in distress, oh, you poor, poor suffering
murderess
Em 6x
Em 4x
Em... :|
Em...
Time is red, time is deadly
Time under glass, time will tell (time will tell)
Time will tell
Time will tell
