Misc Musicals – Tomorrow The Island Dies - Girl Of Legend (Guitar)

Em
The fog rolls in

Em
A blinding steam

Em
Still, I see them coming

Em
One vicious stream

Em
I know their scorn

Em
I catch their eyes

                      E7
Fresh hate is born in violent size

                 E
But aren't they fools?

Edim7
Unmoving like my lighthouse

           D7
When gales blow

      E                  Edim7
How I dreamed they would just go (just go)

               B
'Cause I'm the girl who sends the nightmares

        B7
I'm the girl who kills the sheep

        Bm
I'm the girl who cracks the thunder

              B7
I'm under the bedframe when they sleep

          Bm
All their children damn my name

            B
For if it's wicked, I'm to blame (Ah-ah)

              B7
But I'm not a girl, I'm a legend

E
Clack, clack, clack goes the motor

                             E7
Clack, clack, clack goes the bow

E7
Ship done sank, with their kids to thank

E7
Ain't the Clack folk all dead now?

Em
They laugh and shout

Em
They kick their stones

Em
The vicious murmur

Em
Crawls through my bones

Em
And yet I feed

Em
On all their spite

     E7                  Edim7
Like rodents bleed by the owl at night

                E
For they're the blight

Edim7
Unwavering like my lighthouse

           D7
Amidst the sky

      E
How I dream that they would all just die

            B
For I'm the rot that spoiled the harvest

        B7
I'm the blaze that burned the shed

        Bm
I'm the rain that fell all season

                B7
The reason your sickly sister's dead

               Bm
The tales they tell may be untrue

                B
But that's what frightened folk will do

                  B7
When you're not a girl, you're a legend

Em
Killer, creep, wretched, monster

Em
Killer, creep, wretched, monster (Why won't she)

Em
Killer, creep, wretched, monster (Do something)

Em
Killer, creep, wretched, monster (You know she)

Em
Killer, creep, wretched, monster (Just loves it)

Em
Killer, creep, wretched, monster (Why not go?)

Em
Killer, creep, wretched, monster (Can't she see)

Em
Killer, creep, wretched, monster (You and I)

Em
Killer, creep, wretched, monster (Won't leave her alone)

B7
Poor, poor people, doing just as sheep will!

B
How I dreamed (I pray)

                Bm
That they would all just

Bm
Feel something, see someone

B7      B7
Someday, some night!

        B
But I'm the

B7
Girl who sends the nightmares

        Bm
I'm the girl who kills the sheep

          B7
She's the one who cracks the thunder

                Bm
She's under the bedframe when we sleep

         B7
Tell the children; damn her name

            Bdim7
For if it's wicked, she's to blame (Ahhh)

                B7
But she's not a girl

            B7
She's not a girl (No, I'm not a girl!)

        B
I'm the rot that spoiled the harvest

    B7
The blaze that burned the shed (She's the blame)

        Bm
I'm the rain that fell all season

    B7
The reason your sickly sister's dead!

   B
So curse these folk, who haven't a heart

              Bm
May all their plans be torn apart!

            B7
So says the girl (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

Bdim7
Says the legend

         B
Of Widow Clack (Widow Clack, monster)
