G5                 F#5 
The woods eats the woman  
    G5              F#5     G5     
and dumps her honey-body in the mud 
    G5                    F#5 
Her dress floats down the well  
       G5                           F#5           G5    F#5   G5 
and it assumes the shape of the body of a little girl 
 
Yeah I recognize that girl 

She stumbled in some time last loneliness 

But I could not stand to touch her now 

My one and onlyness. 
 
Chorus 
G5 
Deep in the woods, Deep in the woods 
            E5      D5   A5      F#5  
Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging. 
 
Worms make their cruel design  

Saying D-I-E into her skin 

Saying DEAD into belly and DEATH into shoulder 

Well last night she kissed me but than DEATH was upon her. 
 
Chorus 
 
Now the killed waits for the killer 

And the trees all nod their heads, they are agreed 

This knife feels like a knife feels like a knife that feels like it's feed. 
 
Yeah I recognize that girl 

I took her from rags right through to stitches (pray for me now) 

Oh baby, tonight we sleep in separate ditches. 
 
Chorus 
B5                    Bb5 
Love is for fools and all fools are lovers 
     B5                      Bb5 
It's raining on my house and none of the others 
B5                    Bb5 
Love is for fools and God knows I'm still one 
    B5                         Bb5 
The sidewalks are filled with love's lonely children  (3X this line) 
 

     E5                                   B5 
The sidewalk regrets that we had to kill them.
