Aurelio Voltaire


Tom: Dm

Dm              F
When I find the living a bore
C                 Dm
There's a place I go
  Dm                  F
I answer the call, go over the wall
          C                    Dm
Where the crosses are all in a row


[Verse]
  Dm                  F
I mind the trees, get down on my knees
C                     G
There's a hole in the gate
  Dm                F
I look around, that I won't be found
    C                    Dm
And sit down next to his grave


[Verse]
Dm                      F
If you squirm at the Conqueror Worm
C                    Dm
This is no place for thee
Dm               F
Or if you fright at the mere sight
       C                    Dm
Of the corpse of my Annabel Lee


[Verse]
Dm                  F
If you fear there's something you hear
  C                       Dm
A heart beating under the floor
Dm                        F
Still your heart, there's no need to start
          C                  Dm
It's just me having tea with Lenore


[Chorus]
Bb  C           Dm
Sit here on the ground
Bb   C             Dm
Dead leaves in the trees all around you
Bb   C          Dm
Come enter this land
Bb        C            Dm
Take this book in your hand

There's a place you can go
Dm                  F
Answer the call, go over the wall
          C                    Dm
Where the crosses are all in a row


[Verse]
Dm                  F
Mind the trees, get down on your knees
C                      Dm
Sneak in just like the breeze
Dm                  F
Look around, though you won't be found
          C                    Dm
It's just you, Edgar Allen and me


[Chorus]
Bb  C           Dm
Sit here on the ground
Bb   C             Dm
Dead leaves in the trees all around you
Bb   C          Dm
Come enter this land
Bb        C            Dm
Take this book in your hand
