Verso 1: 
 Am                 E                     C  
  In a town in the woods at the top of a hill 
                      D        
There's a house where no one lives 
 F/C                 C                   D                E   
  So you take a big bag of your big city money there, and buy it 
 Am                      E  
  Then at night when the house is dark 
           C                   D  
And you're all alone there's a noise upstairs 
 F/C                C                            D                      E  
  At the top of the stairs there's a door so you take a deep breath and try it 
        F/C                  C                Bm7/b5           Am 
And the flashlight shows you something moving just inside the door 
          F/C                  C                D                E 
There's a tattered dress and a feeling you have felt somewhere before....

Am F7+/C And there's a creepy doll, that always follows you G D G E Am It's got a ruined eye, that's always open Am F7+/C And there's a creepy doll, that always follows you G D G E Am F It's got a pretty mouth, to swallow you whole
