Intro: ChordsD5           G5           C5                  D7(#9)
Synth Notes: Eb5 D5 C5 Bbx2  D5 C5 Bb5 C5 D5 A5 Eb5 D5 C5 Bb5 Eb5 D5 C5 Bb5 F5

    C5                   Bb5 
The man steps out in the moonlight
                                G5
At the sound of a scream from below.
   C5            F5     
He thinks he is a warrior
      G5                 G5 G5  
So he picks up his sword and goes.

C5                    Bb5
From the mouth of the monster
                      G5
He rescues the maiden fair.
    C5             F5
But we know she's a demon
        G5            G5   G5      
Come to lure him to demon's lair.

C5     C5 C5   C5   C5 C5  C5  C5 C5     
Through restless foliage and tall trees he  leads
     Eb5         Bb5        Ab5       G7b9           Bb5 A5 GG A5 DD5 A5 Ex2 
To a house in a clearing, a place in her fear she calls home.


Ab5             C#5
"Come with me, I need you,
  Ab5                C#5        Ab5
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
     Ab5              C#5      
I'll give you wine and food too
    Ab5              C#5       Ab5    
And something special after if you like."


Repeat Intro: D5 G5 C5 D7(#9)

    C5              Bb5        
And though his body bids him
                 G5
To enter in with her,
          C5              F5
There was something in her manner
         G5             G5 G5 
That his mind could not ignore.

C5         Bb5
Also it is whispered
                       G5
In the kingdom far and wide,
     C5           F5
To beware a little cottage
       G5      G5 G5       
In the forest in a glade.

C5     C5 C5   C5   C5 C5  C5  C5 C5
For who knows what magic takes place in his world?
      Eb5              Bb5      Ab5    G7b9      Bb5 A5 GG A5 DD5 A5 Ex2
So he just thanks her kindly preparing to go on his way.


Ab5             C#5
"Come with me, I need you,
  Ab5                C#5        Ab5 
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
     Ab5              C#5 
I'll give you wine and food too
    Ab5              C#5       Ab5
And something special after if you like.



Bb5        Eb5
Come to my garden,
          C#5                       Eb5
Taste the fruits and the spices of love.
C5          F5 
You can't resist me,
        Eb5                             Eb5
I'm the kind that your dreams tell you of."

"So glad you could make it
       G5     
We had everything arranged.
C5                           D5           
So glad you saw fit to pay a call."

     C5        Bb5
Some men never listen,
                 G5
And others never learn,
        C5             F5
But why this man did as he did
     G5       G5 G5
Only he will ever know.

C5             Bb5
He knew he was walking
               G5
Into a waiting trap,
C5           F5 
Neatly set up for him
       G5         G5 G5
With a bait so richly wrapped.

C5   C5 C5   C5   C5 C5  C5  C5  C5
So he went inside there to take on what he found
       Eb5      Bb5            Ab5    G7b9           Bb5 A5 GG A5 DD5 A5 Ex2
But he never escaped them , for who can escape what he desires?

Ab5             C#5 
"Come with me, I need you,
  Ab5                C#5        Ab5
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
     Ab5              C#5
I'll give you wine and food too
    Ab5              C#5           Ab5
And something special after if you like."
