A       D     Bm  G
When he died

      A             D     Bm  G
Turns out he left behind

  A               D     Bm           G
a mansion full of other people's skulls

    A                  D     Bm          G
The odd thing is, they never found his own

He somehow left behind

        A              D       Bm        G
strange symbols on the floor beneath his corpse

  A           D        Bm       G        A
Investigators said the wood was scorched

They found so many scorpions inside his lungs

When he died

The statues of his missing children cried

What was later found to be his blood
[Bridge] D Bm G A (x3) [Verse 3]

When he died (On a dark and stormy night)

     A              D           Bm           G
They telephoned his wife (Who reacted with delight)

    A             D     Bm       G       A
But gradually her voice began to fade to nothing

        D        Bm     G
And the Laughing Record played

The Laughing Record played

That said when he died

An endless age of untold nightmares would be nigh

        Bb                   C        D    Bm G A
And the blood would make the seas run red
[Bridge] D Bm G A [Verse 4]
A       D          Bm              G
When he died (On a dark and stormy night)

  A                  D        Bm            G
A nearby shed caught fire (It simply caught alight)

    A                     D            Bm       G
And when they cleared the charred wood from the ground

  A                 D        Bm   G
Inside they found a painting of a clown

     A               D      Bm     G
He'd painted it when he was just a child

    A                 D    Bm
But scrawled upon the back

Was exactly when he... died
