[Verse 1]
Em7 G6sus2 A7sus4 Em7 G6sus2 A7sus4 Something from the dark came down the night John Rufus died Em7 G6sus2 A7sus4 Em7 G6sus2 A7sus4 It landed on the window sill and there it cried all night Em7 G6sus2 A7sus4 Em7 G6sus2 A7sus4 We could not see the shape of it, wailing filled the air Em7 G6sus2 A7sus4 Em7 G6sus2 A7sus4 We knew not what it looked like but we knew why it was there
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G6sus2 A7sus4 Em7 I weigh my deeds on my father's scales A7sus4 G6sus2 Dsus2 Em7 And I balance them with coffin nails

[Verse 3]
Em7 G6sus2 A7sus4 Em7 G6sus2 A7sus4 Something from the dark came down, I still hear its song Em7 G6sus2 A7sus4 Em7 G6sus2 A7sus4 Did it follow from the old world? Had it been here all along? Em7 G6sus2 A7sus4 Em7 G6sus2 A7sus4 The banshee didn't seem to bother when it was wartime Em7 G6sus2 A7sus4 Em7 G6sus2 A7sus4 Too much death and sorrow, too many people crying
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G6sus2 A7sus4 Em7 I weigh my deeds on my father's scales A7sus4 G6sus2 Dsus2 Em7 G6sus2 And I balance them with coffin nails Cadd9 G6sus2 A7sus4 Em7 I weigh my deeds on my father's scales A7sus4 G6sus2 Dsus2 Em7 And I balance them with coffin nails
