Shes Got A New Spell

Tom: D

intro: D G A   D G A

              D
What is that sound
             G         A
Where is it coming from
         D
All around
                G         A
What are you running from
               Bm       A       D
Something you don't understand
           G           Em
Something you cannot command

               D
That's how I know
             G        A
She's got a new spell
                D
Yes, that's how I know
                      G     A
That she's got a new spell

               D
What's going down
         G                   A
Who's moved this room from round me
                D
Where has it gone
G                        A
I fear this night will drown me
      Bm        A    D
So I lie awake all night
        G                   Em                  D
'Cos I can't sleep with something I can't fight

   Bm  A   D
             G           A            Bm      A   D
The laws of gravity are very, very strict
                  G                A              Bm  A  D
And you're just bending them for your won benefit


D       G       A       D       G       A       Bm      A       D
D       G       A       D       G       A       D       G       A
Bm      A       D

               G          A           Bm  A  D
The laws of gravity are very, very strict
                  G               A               Bm  A  D
And you're just bending them for your won benefit


One minute she says
        G              A
She's gone to get the cat in
                  D
The next thing I know
          G          A
She's mumbling in Latin
               Bm          A   D
She cut the starts out of the sky
   G              Em
And baked them in a pie

               D
That's how I know
             G       A
She's got a new spell
                D
Yes, that's how I know
                        G    A
That she's got a new spell
               Bm        A        D
She stole the scene and the scenery
    G             Em
The script and the machinery
               D
That's how I know
             G     A
She's got a new spell
                D
Yes, that's how I know
                      G      A    Bm  A  D
That she's got a new spell
