[Intro]
Am E Am x8
[Verse 1]
Am E Am Little Herschell enjoyed the snow Am E Am He was fond to play outdoors and go Am E Am Upon the slopes and around the wood Am E Am He'd play outside all night if he could Am E Am And why not? He thought it is my right Am E Am I think I'll stay outside all night Am E Am So, silly Herschell he ran from home Am E Am Free to play and free to roam, alright
[Instrumental]
Am E Am x4
[Verse 2]
Am E Am He made a friend, that very night Am E Am To keep him from dismay and fright Am E Am He bestowed to it his scarf and his hat Am E Am While initiating a cordial chat Am E Am Then out jumped the beast carnivorous and wild Am E Am With intentions to feast on the guts of the child Am E Am Herschell's new friend only stood there and smirked Am E Am He had given a warning of the brute that lurked
[Chorus]
Dm Am Faster and faster you run through the snow E Am Poor little waif you have nowhere to go Dm Am You think you're having fun but if you only knew B E Just around the corner death is waiting for you
[Interlude]
Am E Am La la la la la la la la Am E Am La la la la la la la la la Am E Am La la la la la la la la Am E Am La la la la la la la la la
[Verse 3]
Am E Am Terrified and betrayed Herschell ran for his soul Am E Am As the creature pursued like a badgering troll Am E Am The boy fled with haste for if he was caught Am E Am He'd be gormandized and left to rot Am E Am But just up ahead a man dressed in red Am E Am Stood in the snow though he looked to be dead Am E Am Herschell beseeched him, sir can you help? Am E Am I'm too young to die, I'm only a welp! Am E Am But suddenly the beast, with an impetuous brace Am E Am Vanquished the man by clutching his face Am E Am The rueful child wished for his bed Am E Am He knew he'd be next when the old man was dead!
[Chorus]
Dm Am Faster and faster you run through the snow E Am Poor little waif you have nowhere to go Dm Am You think you're having fun but if you only knew B E Just around the corner death is waiting for you
[Instrumental]
Am E Am x4
[Verse 4]
Am E Am Oh great was to be requital of the man to say the least Am E Am Like the wing from a fly, he pulled the arm from the beast Am E Am The bloody thing shrieked, but the man didn't care Am E Am His expression was vacant as he proceeded to tear Am E Am The immaculate snow became smudged with gore Am E Am As the monster convulsed causing blood to pour Am E Am Herschell was safe or so he assumed Am E Am But he could not perceive that his future was doomed Am E Am Cause the man's intention to engage in the fight Am E Am Was to have the boy for his own delight Am E Am Herschell was seized and dragged away Am E Am His remains were found... the following day
[Chorus]
Dm Am Faster and faster you run through the snow E Am Poor little waif you have nowhere to go Dm Am You think you're having fun but if you only knew B E Just around the corner death is waiting for you Dm Am Faster and faster you run through the snow E Am Poor little waif you have nowhere to go Dm Am You think you're having fun but if you only knew B E Just around the corner death is waiting for you Dm Am Faster and faster you run through the snow E Am Poor little waif you have nowhere to go Dm Am You think you're having fun but if you only knew B E Just around the corner death is waiting for you Dm Am Faster and faster you run through the snow E Am Poor little waif you have nowhere to go Dm Am You think you're having fun but if you only knew B E Just around the corner death is waiting for you Dm Am Faster and faster you run through the snow E Am Poor little waif you have nowhere to go Dm Am B E Uuuaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
