Jonathan Coulton – Creepy Doll (Guitar)

(Am)               (E)                   (C)
  In a town in the woods at the top of a hill

                     (D)
There's a house where no one lives

(F/C)               (C)                 (D)              (E)
  So you take a big bag of your big city money there, and buy it

(Am)                    (E)
  Then at night when the house is dark

          (C)                 (D)
And you're all alone there's a noise upstairs

(F/C)              (C)                          (D)                    (E)
  At the top of the stairs there's a door so you take a deep breath and try it

        F/C                  C                Bm7b5           Am
And the flashlight shows you something moving just inside the door

          F/C                  C                D                E
There's a tattered dress and a feeling you have felt somewhere before...

Am                          Fmaj7/C
 And there's a creepy doll,  that always follows you

G                              D G    E Am
 It's got a ruined eye, that's always open

Am                          Fmaj7/C
 And there's a creepy doll,  that always follows you

G                              D  G  E   Am    Fmaj7#11
 It's got a pretty mouth, to swallow you whole

Am                     E
 So you scream and you close the door

        C                    D
And you tell yourself it was just a dream

F/C                 C                        D            E
 In the morning you head into town cause you want to go antiquing

Am                      E
 In the store there's a strange old man

       C                   D
With a wandering eye and a withered hand

F/C                    C                      D                  E
 When he hands you the old wooden box you can hear his old bones creaking

        F/C                C               Bm7b5           Am
And you know what you will find inside the moment that you see

     F/C                 C             D                E
That someone carved your name into the tarnished silver key

Am                          Fmaj7/C
 And there's a creepy doll,  that always follows you

G                              D G    E Am
 It's got a ruined eye, that's always open

Am                          Fmaj7/C
 And there's a creepy doll,  that always follows you

G                              D  G  E   Am
 It's got a pretty mouth, to swallow you whole

    F/C                C                Bm7b5          Am
And when you come home late the doll is waiting up for you

    F/C            C                   Bm7b5             Am
And when you fix a snack the doll says it would like one too

    F/C             G                 F/C              G
The doll is in your house and in your room and in your bed

    F/C             G                F/C              G                C
The doll is in your eyes and in your arms and in your head and you are crazy

Am                     E
 Now it's late and you head downstairs

          C                       D
Cause you just can't sleep so you make some tea

F/C                C                     D                     E
 And the doll disapprovingly asks if you really need that much honey

Am                      E
 You decide that you've had enough

        C                    D
And you lock the doll in the wooden box

F/C                     C                      D               E
 You put the box in the fireplace next to your bag of big city money

       F/C                 C                 Bm7b5           Am
As the smoke fills up your tiny room there's nothing you can do

    F/C              C           D                 E
And far too late you see the one inside the box is you

Am                          Fmaj7/C
 And there's a creepy doll,  that always follows you

G                              D G    E Am
 It's got a ruined eye, that's always open

Am                          Fmaj7/C
 And there's a creepy doll,  that always follows you

G                              D  G  E   Am    Fmaj7#11
 It's got a pretty mouth, to swallow you whole
