Deep Dark Below

Amanda Shires


Tom: Bm

F#m
Most of the shingles are gone
F#m
There are a couple still hanging on
F#m
Like an old man's teeth
F#m
Thrid house in, witH the weeds in the limbs
F#m
and all the broken glass and other peoples trash

F#m
The windows are all busted out
F#m
You can slip your way carefully in
F#m
even stand inside the tape and lay in the shape of her
F#m
chalk out line

[Chorus]
D                         F#
Monsters are men that the devil gets in
    G                D
And even he gets so bored sometimes
D                         F#m
Climbs from his hole, the deep dark below
   G                  D
To entertain himself awhile
   G                 F#m
To entertain himself awhile

[Verse]
F#m
He puts on the body and clothes
F#m
Of someone you think you know
F#m
and you step into those hands like a horse in quicksand
F#m
you find yourself screaming your way to the end
F#m
thats what happened to Aleesha

[Chorus]
         D             F#               F#m
She was dancing wild, tilting from the wine
     G                 D
dark hair and diamond shine
D                            F#m
lonely and bruised getting over getting used
     G                        D
It's usually the week ones he finds
     G                        F#m
It's usually the week ones he finds

[Verse]
F#m
And he wanted her beauty, it was all he was after
F#m
Oh he'd never hips and legs and skin and arms like hers
F#m
and she was dying for some company
F#m
they found her some days later
F#m
undone, scattered and right beside her
F#m
a straight plain, sledge hammer

[Chorus]
           D                            F#
I heard he plays a mean fiddle and his bows' made of bones
        G                        D
and it sounds like your deepest desire

D                            F#m
lonely and bruised getting over getting used
     G                        D
It's usually the week ones he finds
     G                        F#m
It's usually the week ones he finds
