Intro : D5 A5 D5 A5 D5 A5 B5 D5 C#5

Over the moors, take me to the moors
D5    A5  D5          A5

dig a shallow grave and I'll lay me down
D5         A5 B5          D5   C#5

Lesley-Anne with your pretty white beads
B5    E5              Ab5         G5

oh John, you'll never be a man
   A5                  B5

   and you'll never see your    home... home again
D5      E5                   B5  E5     Ab5     G5

   oh Manchester, so much to answer for
A5     B5        D5        E5

Edward, see those alluring lights?
tonight will be your very last night.

a woman said, "I know my son is dead
I'll never rest my hand on his sacred head."

Hindley wakes and Hindley says:
"Wherever he has gone, I have gone."

But fresh lilaced moorland fields
Cannot hide the stolid stench of death

Hindley wakes and Hindley says:
"Whatever he has done, I have done."

But this is no easy ride
for a child cries:

"find me...find me, nothing more
we're on a sullen misty moor
we may be dead and we may be gone
but we will be right by your side
until the day you die
his is no easy ride.
we will haunt you when you laugh
yes, you could say we're a team
you might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM!

Oh Manchester, so much to answer for
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for
Over the moor, I'm on the moor
The child is on the moor.
