Two feet of shining screw projected when, suddenly, the lid fell off! Two disc-like eyes appeared above the rim. A huge, rounded bulk, larger than a bear, rose up glistening like wet leather. Its lip-less mouth quivered and slavered, and tentacles writhed as the clumsy body heaved and pulsated. e|-------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------| D|-------------9-------------9---------| A|-5-6-5-6-5-6---5-6-5-6-5-6---6-6-7---| E|-----------------------------------7-| e|----------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------8-8-h9-----| D|-------------9-------------9------------| A|-5-6-5-6-5-6---5-6-5-6-5-6----------7-7-| E|----------------------------------------| e|-------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------| G|-------6-8----6-8-8-9-9--9/4--9/3--8-7-8---| D|-----9------9----------------------------6-| A|-9-9---------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------| (repeated over following spoken part) e|-------------------| B|-------------------| G|---------------4---|Palm Muted D|-6-5-6-5-6-5-6---6-|Palm Muted A|-------------------| E|-------------------| (spoken) A few young men crept closer to the pit. A tall funnel rose, then an invisible ray of leapt from man to man and there was a bright glare, as each was instantly turned to fire. tree and bush became a mass of flames at the touch of this savage, unearthly Heat Ray. e|------------------------------------------------| B|----------9-8~-9--------------9--8/11-9-9-9-9---| G|------------------------------------------------| D|-4/6-6--6--------6-6--4/6-6-6-----------------6-| A|------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------| Play four times through End with: e|--------------| B|--------------| G|-7/9--9--9----| D|--(8)(8)(8)---| A|-4/6--6--6--6-| E|--------------| Back to: e|-------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------| D|-------------9-------------9---------| A|-5-6-5-6-5-6---5-6-5-6-5-6---6-6-7---| E|-----------------------------------7-| e|----------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------8-8-h9-----| D|-------------9-------------9------------| A|-5-6-5-6-5-6---5-6-5-6-5-6----------7-7-| E|----------------------------------------| e|-------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------| G|-------6-8----6-8-8-9-9--9/4--9/3--8-7-8---| D|-----9------9----------------------------6-| A|-9-9---------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------| (repeated over following spoken part) e|-------------------| B|-------------------| G|---------------4---|Palm Muted D|-6-5-6-5-6-5-6---6-|Palm Muted A|-------------------| E|-------------------| (spoken) People clawed their way off the Common, and I ran too. I felt I was being toyed with, when I was on the very verge of safety, this mysterious death would leap after me and me down. At last I reached Maybury Hill and in the dim coolness of my home I wrote an for my newspaper before I sank into a restless, haunted sleep.
