Verse 1 (N.C for most of the verse so these are implied by the melody)

(Am)               (E)                   (C)
  In a town in the woods at the top of a hill
                     (D)      
There's a house where no one lives
(F)               (C)                 (D)              (E) 
  So you take a big bag of your big city money there, and buy it
(Am)                    (E)
  Then at night when the house is dark
          (C)                 (D)
And you're all alone there's a noise upstairs
(F)              (C)                          (D)                    (E)
  At the top of the stairs there's a door so you take a deep breath and try it
        F (133211@1)                C (x32010@1)              Bm7b5           AmAnd (x02210@1)the flashlight shows you something moving just inside the door
          F (133211@1)                C (x32010@1)              D (xx0232@1)              EThere's (022100@1)a tattered dress and a feeling you have felt somewhere before....

Chorus

Am (x02210@1)                        Fmaj7/C
 And there's a creepy doll,  that always follows you
G (320003@1)                            D (xx0232@1)name="chord_320003@1">G    E (022100@1)name="chord_x02210@1">Am
 It's got a ruined eye, that's always open
Am (x02210@1)                        Fmaj7/C
 And there's a creepy doll,  that always follows you
G (320003@1)                            D (xx0232@1)G (320003@1)E (022100@1) Am (x02210@1)  Fmaj7add11/C
 It's got a pretty mouth, to swallow you whole

Verse 2

Am (x02210@1)                   E (022100@1)So you scream and you close the door
        C (x32010@1)                  DAnd (xx0232@1)you tell yourself it was just a dream
F (133211@1)               C (x32010@1)                      D (xx0232@1)          E (022100@1)In the morning you head into town cause you want to go antiquing
Am (x02210@1)                    E (022100@1)In the store there's a strange old man
       C (x32010@1)                 DWith (xx0232@1)a wandering eye and a withered hand
F (133211@1)                  C (x32010@1)                    D (xx0232@1)                E (022100@1)When he hands you the old wooden box you can hear his old bones creaking

F (133211@1)              C (x32010@1)             Bm7b5           AmAnd (x02210@1)you know what you will find inside the moment that you see
     F (133211@1)               C (x32010@1)           D (xx0232@1)              EThat (022100@1)someone carved your name into the tarnished silver key

Chorus

Am (x02210@1)                        Fmaj7/C
 And there's a creepy doll,  that always follows you

 It's got a ruined eye, that's always open
Am (x02210@1)                        Fmaj7/C
 And there's a creepy doll,  that always follows you
