     Fsus4/Bb               F5
In a cave many miles to the south

        Fsus4/Bb                   F5
Lives a boy born with fangs in his mouth

                   Db/F        Eb/G
Sleeping until the fading light

                      Ab
Flying through bloody dreams;

Bb5     C5         Db5         C5              F5
When he awakes the summer night is filled with screams

         Fsus4/Bb                 F5
You have heard he was born in the bogs

        Fsus4/Bb                   F5
That he feeds on the flies and the frogs

                         Db/F        Eb/G
You call him "Beast" or "Changeling";

                 Ab
Or "Demon Chimpanzee";

Bb5         C5         Db5     C5
But we will prove he's no such thing:

     C5        D5  C5  D5
He's much like me! And me!

       F#sus4                           G#5
He was dragged from his home and thrown down

       F#sus4                G#5
At the edge of a coal mining town

G#m6                     Esus   F#5
They stripped him of his dignity

                     B
They beat him like a gong

Db5        Eb5      E5      Eb5

Would none hear his cry? (Yeah, would none hear his cry, y'all?)

   F            Em          Dm          C
Or would they detest him, arrest him, molest him?

   B                     E
Or just let him die? You can't just stand by

       Dsus4/A      D/A           A
He has suffered and now it's your turn

        Dsus4/A     D/A           A
You are here not to laugh; but to learn

                F            G
Listen to his ungodly shriek

                        C
Watch what they put him through

Dm       Dm/E      Fsus        E
Heed the tale of a filthy freak
