6 5   6   5   6 5  6   5   6

Riding up the alley in the rain,

-3   -3   -3  -7   7  -7

No lights to show the way.

 7    7    7   7 -7 -6   7   -7 8’ 9’

How could this ever be their h-o-me?

   6     5    6   5   6    5   6 5   6

Through the darkness you could only see

-3 -3 -3 -3 -3   -3   -7    7 -7

 A giant shadow that swells to be

7   7     7   7 -7  -6   7  -7 8’ 8

A house where evil rules at n-i-ght

-7  -7   7  7   -8  7   -7     

And the shadows at the gate,

(spoken:they seemed to be alive)

-7    -7   7  7   -8  7   -7    -10 -10

Yeah, the shadows at the gate -- alive.

6 5 6       5  6   5    6    5  6

Everything inside was left untouched

-3 -3  -3   -3  -3   -7   7   -7

Except for what the rats had got,

 7   7   7    7  -7   -6    6     7  -7 8’ 9’

And the dust of time that showed its m-a-rk.

  6    5     6  5  6    5  6 5    6

Armed with candlelight and open eyes

 -3     -3   -3   -3    -7     7   -7

Through the dark they fought their way

  7   7 7   -8   7  -6 -10 -10

'Til every room was lit again

 -7  -7   7   7 -8   7   -7    

And the house began to breathe,

(Spoken: it seemed to be alive)

 -7   -7    7   7 -8  7    -7       -5 -7 8

Yeah, the house began to breathe – al-i-ve.

6   5   6  5  6    5 6   5   6

As the candlelight began to fade,

-3  -3 -3 -3  -3    -3    -7 7  -7

And Jonathan said, "Let's go to bed."

 7   7   7 -8  7    -6  -10 -10 9’ -10

The fireplace had ceased to  b-u-rn.

 6    5    6    5  6   5 6    5   6     -10 9’     -10 9’

Both were fast asleep before the dawn, Dreaming, Dreaming

 7   7    7   7   -8  7 -6   7   -7 -7

And they did not know about the shadow,

-7    -7   7 7   -8  7   -7

Yeah, the shadow on the wall,

(Spoken: it really came alive.)

-7    -7   7 7   -8  7   -7

Yeah, the shadow on the wall,

-5 10’

Sunrise!
