(Riff 1, Riff 2, Riff 1, Riff 3)

E5When (022xxx@1)I was standin' on the gallows
                             ANothing (x02220@1)to say, I watched my sun... go down
E5And (022xxx@1)light got dark around the edges
                           A (x02220@1)            (Riff 4)
With no control I felt my soul... go down
D (xx0232@1)         E (022100@1)              A (x02220@1)     D (xx0232@1)  
When you're dead there isn't anybody else,
A (x02220@1)    D (xx0232@1)        ENobody (022100@1)else... at all

(Riff 1, Riff 2, Riff 1, Riff 3)

E5 (022xxx@1)                     
So darkness came upon the valley
                               AAnd (x02220@1)all the war machines broke down... broke down
E5 (022xxx@1)And all the children ran for cover
                          A (x02220@1)                (Riff 4)
And all the animals broke down... broke down

Chorus:

E (022100@1)             A (x02220@1)             D (xx0232@1)AOoh, (x02220@1)well maybe they... should not have
E (022100@1)            A (x02220@1)         D (xx0232@1)ABeen (x02220@1)quite so bold... to test me
    E (022100@1)        A (x02220@1)     DA
For I am the Shape...shifter
    E (022100@1)             AAnd (x02220@1)I'll have my revenge

(Riff 5)

E (022100@1)                  B5[ooh, (x244xx@1)ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh's...]
E (022100@1)                  B5 (x244xx@1)      (Riff 4) 
[ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh's...]
