Tone: [Bm]
Verse 1:
a [Bm]rake of claws against a mirror
[D]Grazing pelts we all once wore
a [Em]kindling of a swordless bloodshed
The [Gb]creaking of a voiceless door
[Bm]Where does a mind like yours wonder
[D]When it's sung to sleep
[Em]Mind the clamours of the restless bidders
Be[Gb]Before you choose to weep
Chorus:
And the [Bm]Hound
Is [D]humming you
a [Em]lie, a [Gb]lullaby
Verse 2:
[Bm]Stuck in the middle of a forest made of
[D]Flesh and bones and they're all scared of
a [Em]lost little boy who has lost his heart
[Gb]Fear's not enough, they have to
Tear him apart
[Bm] Follow the scent of iron sinking
[D]Deeper into corpses rotting
But [Em]they can't hear you talk, talk, talk
About [Gb]every little thing
Every little thing, every
Chorus:
And the [Bm]Hound
Is [D]humming you
a [Em]lie, a [Gb]lullaby
Bridge:
It [Bm]clicks and
it clatters in corners and borders
And they will never
[D]Hear me here listen to
croons and a calling
I'll tell them all the
[Em]Story, the sun, and
the swallow, her sorrow
Singing me the [Gb]tale of
the Harpy and the Hare
a cappella:
-nc-
And the Hound
-nc-
Is humming you
-nc-
a lie
Chorus:
And the [Bm]Hound
Is [D]humming you
a [Em]lie, a [Gb]lullaby
And the [Bm]Hound
[D]Hums
a [Em]lie, a [Gb]lullaby
And the [Bm]Hound
[D]Hums
a [Em]lie, a [Gb]lullaby
And the [Bm]Hound is humming
And the [D]Hound is howling
And the [Em]Hound is humming
[Gb]You
And the [Bm]Hound, [D]oooh
-a [Em]lie, a [Gb]lullabye-
Outro:
And the [Bm]Hound
