Gb Am   D     Cm    Eb Bb
Memories of shadow’s haunt me,

Am       D     G   Bb

Verse 1:
G     D
There’s a dark moon in the clouds,
G
Misty fog in the swamp,
G
Crickets chirpping outside my window; the water it thumps,
G
In the bathroom sink down the hall,
G
The lights flicker sometimes,
G
The wind is howling-
Bb            G
The dogs are growling way deep in the pines,
G
A passing car on the distant road, The only thing running
G
Nightmares in my sleep, The Sandman is coming
G
I see the ghost in the red cloak,
G
The shadows are taking shape,
  Bb        G
The sound of a faint voice, lost and full of hate,
G
Dry leaves crumble under the feet of the Reaper,
G
The limbs tap on my window, like the nails of a creature,
G
Tales of goblins and fairies,
G
A sacrifice on the prairie,
Bb            G
A murderer that escaped, I’m disillusioned and weary,
G
Lightning strikes on the hill,
G
Illuminating the cabin,
G
The old man on the porch, evil and quietly laughing,
G
surrounded by demons,
         Bb
I’m an angel and they all want me,
Bb
And to this day,


Chorus:
D      Cm        G Bb
Memories of shadow’s haunt me,
G    D        Cm
From the years when I was young,
G      D     Cm    G Bb
Things that used to terrify me,
Bb   D            G Bb
Are the things, That I’ve become,


Verse 2:
Bb G
Cigarette butts, and oil stains on the dying grass,
G
The smell of the liquor, rising up from the broken glass
G
The crowds of black leather, The heat from the engines,
        Bb   Cm      G
Motorcycles and Goons, Bearded men and loud women,
G
The crackling paint, The old shack with the swinging light,
G
The * * passing, Open in plain sight,
G
Ozzy and Black Sabbath, The vinyl is skipping,
           Bb
From the fight in the kitchen,
G
Blood screaming and kicking,
G
Smoke fills up the sky, Gasoline on the trash heap,
G
The mattress is burning, I hear it popping and snapping,
G
The rain soaked teddy bear, so heavy I can’t lift it,
  Bb            G
The flask for the moonshine, I watch as they all sip it,
G
The Halloween pumpkin candle lit with a Pentagram,
G
The Grandfather Clock, with a broken minute hand,
G
Surrounded by thieves, killers,
G
Thugs and some j,
      Bb
And to this day,


Chorus:
D      Cm        G Bb
Memories of shadow’s haunt me,
G    D        Cm
From the years when I was young,
G      D     Cm    G Bb
Things that used to terrify me,
Bb   D            G Bb
Are the things, That I’ve become,


Verse 3:
G       Eb        D
I throw on my leather jacket, a collection of biker patches,

One of them says savage, The other one Black Sabbath,
    Eb
Heavily tatted, barely any skin left,
D
Whiskey bent after twelve,

I’m always playing with death,
Eb            D
Bullet shells in my yard, Loaded gun on the shelf,

Run the roads like a wolf, through the whole Bible Belt,
         Eb        D
Rattlesnake skin boots, Toes up on the chopper,

Fifty Harleys behind me, They all ready to slaughter,
Eb
Drunk in front of my sons,
D
Drunk in front of my daughter,

Spit, cuss, and I yell,
      Bb    D
It’s like a one-sided quarter,
Eb                  D
‘Cause I’m only heads up. no matter which way you flip it,
                   Bb    D
No brake lights in my life, I’m either rich or evicted,
Eb
Committed to my convictions,

Committed crimes with the quitters,
D
Connected to my religion, The religion of sinners,
Eb
Send a prayer to god,
D
Exhaling smoke off the *,
D
Like puddles reflecting the ripples echo to next life,
G Eb
So here I am standing just like the ashes that fell from the fire,
              Bb     D
A seed that fell off that poisonous and forgotten flower,
G       Eb
Became my own nightmare,
D
But now I think it’s charming,
      Eb
Especially when,


Chorus:
Gb Am   D     Cm    Eb Bb
Memories of shadow’s haunt me,
G  D          Cm   G Bb
From the years when I was young,
Eb   Am  D    Cm    Eb Bb
Things that used to terrify me,
Am       D     G   Bb
