Capo 1st fret
Intro Am Am Am Em Am Am Em Am
Am Em Am
Sit down by the fire I'll tell you a story to send you away to bed
Of the things you hear creeping when everyone's sleeping and you wish you were out here instead
Am G AmIt isn't the mice in the wall it isn't the wind in the well
Am Em AmEvery night they march out of that hole in the wall on their way out of Hell
C F C
They're the things that you see when you wake up and scream
The cold things that follow you down the Boreen
C F CThey live in the small wing of trees on the hill
C F CUp at the top of the field
And they dance on the rain and they dance on the wind
C F CThey tap on the window when no one is in
C F CAnd if ever you see them
Pretend that you're dead or they'll bite off your head
C F CThey'll rip out your liver and dance on your neck
C F CThey dance on your head they dance on your chest
And they give you the cramp and the cholic for jest

Am Am G C G C G C G C Am
They're the ones that you see when you wake up and scream
The cold things that follow you down the Boreen
They live in the small wing of trees on the hill
Up at the top of the field
They play on the wind they sing in the rain
They dance on your eyes they dance in your brain
Remember this place it's damp and it is cold
The best place on earth but it's dark and it's old
So lie near the wall and cover your head
Good night and God bless now fuck off to bed
