    Verse 2:
  •  
    She tied my eyes with a ribbon of a silken ghostly thread,
    I gazed with troubled vision on an old four-poster bed

    And bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead,

    Verse 3:
  •  
    She gazed with a love and beauty, like a mother to a son,
    Like live and die, and see and be, and all rolled into one,
  • Then all at once I heard some music playing in my bones,
    The same old song I'd heard for years, reminding me of home,
     
  • Chorus, [tab].
     
    Verse 4:
  •  
    Then creeping on towards me with their lips with tongues of fire
    A host of golden demons screaming "Lust!" and "Base desire!"
  • And when it seemed for certain that their screams could get no higher
    I heard a voice above the rest, screaming "You're a liar!"
     
  • But it's alright, Lady Eleanor,
    Alright, Lady Eleanor,
    G A [E(bar7) Bm] <- ???
  • I'm alright here in your arms....
     
    I suspect those last chords are something entirely different, but can't
  • remember much except they _are_ simple chords.
    If anyone can supply the missing words or correct any others I have wrong,
    PLEASE Email me. It's an old favourite, and I'd like to get it right!
  • If memory serves me, Alan Hull wrote it.
    p.s. I love the mandolin work, too, but the tab for that would be a bit
    beyond me...
