E pedal
Em Bm7 Am Em
[Verse 1]
Em Well the blood runs thicker than the water for Delilah Morreo Bm7 The daughter of a mad confider, bat and beast and wolf and spider Am Never had a chance at all to save her precious mortal soul Em The reaper's hold would not let go, for poor Delilah Morreo
[Verse 2]
Em Two men of equal brilliant minds enchant Delilah Morreo Bm7 Her love for science was a curse, she wilted and was drawn by hearse Am One suitor grew obsessed, he would restore her pretty little soul Em Awoke she did with spectral glow, the corpse Delilah Morreo
[Bridge]
Em Am Horrified Em Am Yes, the poor dear tried to make things right Em But thirst did call Am Suitors did fall Em The woman's grave was said and done Am And yet she lived B7 The darkness comes
[Chorus]
Em G Am B7 Been dead and gone, but not for long (I’m gonna getcha) Em G Am B7 Em You’ll hear the howling of my song (I’m gonna geeeeetcha) Em Am Oooooh B7 Hahhh Em Ah-ha-hahhhh
[Verse 3]
Em No beats except of greasy bat wings for Delilah Morreo Bm7 But heartless girls they still can love, befriending rats and fallen doves Am And then she found out there were more just like her own forgotten soul Em But they were bad, they had to go, said Delilah Morreo
[Verse 4]
Em Vampiric chants and alchemy dabbled Delilah Morreo Bm7 She thought she might have cured the spell, but things again did not go well Am Instead of needing to drink life, she hungered for some hell-bound souls Em From then on out, she ate her foes, Miss Delilah Morreo
[Bridge]
Em Am Em Am Her fate was sealed, the poor dear tried to make things right Em A new thirst called Am Vampires fall Em The woman's creed and code were true Am Sleep tight tonight B7 Her teeth will chew
[Chorus]
Em G Am B7 Been dead and gone, but not for long (I’m gonna getcha) Em G Am B7 Em You’ll hear the howling of my song (I’m gonna geeeeetcha)
Em Bm7 Am
Em
Ah, break it down[Verse 5]
Em Well the boogeyman fears the wraith Delilah Morreo Bm7 And Death and her are friends now no matter where it is she goes Am So all the Vampires should hide from this lady Em This side of the netherworld, she’s the baddest in Hades
[Verse 6]
Em All the sugar skulls sing her praise, Delilah Morreo Bm7 There ain't no ghost or specter that’ll stand with her toe to toe Am The demon boys love her, it turns the Banshees green Em But there ain’t no man for this Vampire Queen!
[Chorus]
Em G Am B7 Been dead and gone, but not for long (I’m gonna getcha) Em G Am B7 Em You’ll hear the howling of my song (I’m gonna geeeeetcha) Em Am Aaoooh B7 *growl* Em Ah-ha-hahhhh!
