[Intro]

Em | G | Em 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
G             Em                           G
 Tear it down,  tear it down around my head
       Em                             G
I need you to bury this beneath my bed

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
    Em                           Cmaj7            G
The crows in the garden are laughing at my expense
         Em                           Cmaj7                 G
Drowning out all the lies that I might     have told instead

[Verse 2]
---------------------
  Em
My  stone, my shield, my steady hand
G               Em                          G
 Hold your light  to the darkness in my head

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
         Em
Put your ear to my heart or set
     Cmaj7                  G
Your teeth against my throat
        Em                      Cmaj7
Give me something pretty to wear
                               G
Beneath my bloodstained clothes
   C#m7-5       Cmaj7          Em
My darling, the devil knows my name

[Interlude (1)]
---------------------
  G
Oh

[Verse 3]
---------------------
Em G            Em                          G
    Lay me down,  pour the dirt into our bed
              Em                                  G
Tell the crows  they can have their pound of flesh

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
    Em                        Cmaj7                 G
The ghosts at the window echo all  our quiet prayers
          Em                       Cmaj7                      G
When they come for us, they'll come     with hammers and nails
   C#m7-5       Cmaj7          Em
My darling, the devil knows my name

[Interlude (2)]

   G
My name
   Em  G
My name

[Solo]

[Outro]
---------------------
Em
  Get on your knees and dig up the garden
         G
Won't you throw down that spade and
Dig up the garden, darling?
Em                        C
  Get your hands dirty and rip up the garden
          G             Dsus4/F#       Em
Won't you cut down that apple tree for me?
