(no chords in first verse)




In a town in the woods at the top of a hill


There’s a house where no one lives


So you take a big bag of your big city money there.. and buy it


Then at night when the house is dark


And you’re all alone there’s a noise upstairs


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)              Dm (xx0231@1)            Am (x02210@1)
And the flashlight shows you something moving just inside the door


          F (133211@1)                  C (x32010@1)              D (xx0232@1)              E (022100@1)
There’s a tattered dress and a feeling you have felt somewhere before....




[ chorus ]




Am (x02210@1)                        F (133211@1)
 And there’s a creepy doll,  That always follows you


G (320003@1)                                 GbG     AbA


 It’s got a ruined eye,      That’s al-ways.. o-pen


Am (x02210@1)                        F (133211@1)
 And there’s a creepy doll,  That always follows you


G (320003@1)                                 GbG     AbA


 It’s got a pretty mouth,    To swallow.. you whole

Am (x02210@1)                   E (022100@1)
 So you scream and you close the door


        C (x32010@1)                  D (xx0232@1)
And 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)                 D (xx0232@1)
With 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(maj7)            C (x32010@1)             Dm (xx0231@1)            Am (x02210@1)
And you know what you will find inside the moment that you see


     F (133211@1)                 C (x32010@1)           D (xx0232@1)              E (022100@1)
That someone carved your name into the tarnished silver key

    F (133211@1)                C (x32010@1)              Dm (xx0231@1)           Am (x02210@1)
And when you come home late the doll is waiting up for you


    F (133211@1)            C (x32010@1)                 Dm (xx0231@1)              Am (x02210@1)
And when you fix a snack the doll says it would like one too


    F (133211@1)             G (320003@1)               F (133211@1)              G (320003@1)
The doll is in your house and in your room and in your bed


    F (133211@1)             G (320003@1)              Fmaj7 (1x3210@1)          G (320003@1)              C (x32010@1)
The doll is in your eyes and in your arms and in your head and you are crazy

Am (x02210@1)                   E (022100@1)
 Now it’s late and you head downstairs


          C (x32010@1)                     D (xx0232@1)
Cause you just can’t sleep so you make some tea


F (133211@1)                C (x32010@1)                   D (xx0232@1)                   E (022100@1)
 And the doll disapprovingly asks if you really need that much honey


Am (x02210@1)                    E (022100@1)
 You decide that you’ve had enough


        C (x32010@1)                  D (xx0232@1)
And you lock the doll in the wooden box


F (133211@1)                     C (x32010@1)                    D (xx0232@1)             E (022100@1)
 You put the box in the fireplace next to your bag of big city money


       F(maj7)             C (x32010@1)               Dm (xx0231@1)            Am (x02210@1)
As the smoke fills up your tiny room there’s nothing you can do


    F (133211@1)              C (x32010@1)         D (xx0232@1)               E (022100@1)
And far too late you see the one inside the box is you
