****************************** | / Slide up | \ Slide down | h Hammer-on ****************************** [Verse]
         Em                           G
Tear it down, tear it down around my head

       Em                         G
I need you to bury this beneath my bed

     Em                       C              G
The crows in the garden are laughing at my expense

         Em                        C                G
Drowning out all the lies that I might have told instead

     Em                          G
My stone, my shield, my steady hand

           Em                          G
Hold your light to the darkness in my head

         Em                            C                G
Put your ear to my heart or set your teeth against my throat

            Em               C                               G
Give me something pretty to wear beneath my blood-stained clothes
[Chorus]
      Em          C             Em
My darling, the devil knows my name
(Oh...) [Instrumental] Em G x3 [Verse]
        Em                           G
Lay me down, pour the dirt into our bed

          Em                                  G
Tell the crows they can have their pound of flesh

      Em                       C               G
The ghosts at the window echo all our quiet prayers

           Em                    C                     G
When they come for us, they'll come with hammers and nails

     Em           C             Am
My darling, the devil knows my name
[Bridge]
Em
My name

Am  Em
My name
[Instrumental] Em G x2 [Outro]
Em                     C
Get on your knees and dig up the garden

           Em
Won't you throw down that spade and

C
Dig up the garden, darling?

Em                        C
Get your hands dirty and rip up the garden

          Em            Am             Em
Won't you cut down that apple tree for me?
