verse 1
Em D C Em G Am
It wasn't quite the curse of Tutankhamen
Em D C Em G Am
Or the kiss of death from Judas in the night
Em D C Em G Am
And it felt so far beyond the blue horizon
Em D C Em G Am
Tempting me with transports of delight
[Refrão]
Bm G Am
And when the devil took my hand and said
Am F
Come along with me
Em D C Em
verse 2
Em D C Em G Am
There I was, wide awake and dreaming
Em D C Em G Am
Reaching out for something in the sky
Em D C Em G Am
But I could not control that trembling feeling
Em D C Em G Am
Everything I want is slipping by
[Refrão]
Bm G
And when the devil took my hand and said
Am F
Something you should see
Interlude
verse 3
Em D C Em G Am
I never knew what happened to my nightmare
Em D C Em
Everything went dark that August day
Em D C Em G Am
And the eclipse was on the other side of somewhere
Em D C Em G Am
But I was on the upside of afraid
[Refrão]
Bm G Am
And then an angel took my hand and said
Am F
Come along with me
