Cm Bbmaj7
The man steps out in the moonlight
Gm
At the sound of a scream from below.
Cm7 F
He thinks he is a warrior
Gm Gm7 Gm
So he picks up his sword and goes.
Cm Bbmaj7
From the mouth of the monster
Gm
He rescues the maiden fair.
Cm7 F7
But we know she's a demon
Gm Gm7 Gm
Come to lure him to demon's lair.
C/G C9/G C C9/G C9/G C/G C9/G C/G Cadd9
Through restless foliage and tall trees he leads
Eb Bb/F Abmaj7 G7b9 Bb A GG A DD A Ex2
To a house in a clearing, a place in her fear she calls home.
Abm9 Db
"Come with me, I need you,
Abm9 Db Ab
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
Abm9 Db
I'll give you wine and food too
Abm9 Db Ab
And something special after if you like."
Repeat Intro: D7 Gm Cm D7(#9)
Cm Bbmaj7
And though his body bids him
Gm
To enter in with her,
Cm7 F
There was something in her manner
Gm Gm7 Gm
That his mind could not ignore.
Cm Bbmaj7
Also it is whispered
Gm
In the kingdom far and wide,
Cm7 F
To beware a little cottage
Gm Gm7 Gm
In the forest in a glade.
C/G C9/G C C9/G C9/G C/G C9/G C/G Cadd9
For who knows what magic takes place in his world?
Eb Bb/F Abmaj7 G7b9 Bb A GG A DD A Ex2
So he just thanks her kindly preparing to go on his way.
Abm9 Db
"Come with me, I need you,
Abm9 Db Ab
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
Abm9 Db
I'll give you wine and food too
Abm9 Db Ab
And something special after if you like.
Bbm Eb
Come to my garden,
Db Eb
Taste the fruits and the spices of love.
Cm F7
You can't resist me,
Eb Eb6/F
I'm the kind that your dreams tell you of."

"So glad you could make it
Gm
We had everything arranged.
Cm Dm
So glad you saw fit to pay a call."
Cm Bbmaj7
Some men never listen,
Gm
And others never learn,
Cm7 F
But why this man did as he did
Gm Gm7 Gm
Only he will ever know.
Cm Bbmaj7
He knew he was walking
Gm
Into a waiting trap,
Cm7 F7
Neatly set up for him
Gm Gm7 Gm
With a bait so richly wrapped.
C/G C9/G C C9/G C9/G C/G C9/G C/G Cadd9
So he went inside there to take on what he found
Eb Bb/F Abmaj7 G7b9 Bb A GG A DD A Ex2
But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires?
Abm9 Db
"Come with me, I need you,
Abm9 Db Ab
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
Abm9 Db
I'll give you wine and food too
Abm9 Db Ab
And something special after if you like."
