[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][G][Bm][C][D][G]
[Bm][G][Bm][C][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]These are the stories of Edgar Allan Poe

[Verse 2]
Not exactly the boy next door
[G]He'll tell you tales of horror
Then he'll play with your mind
If you haven't heard him

[Verse 3]
You must be deaf or blind.
[C]These are the stories of [G]Edgar Allen [C]Poe
Not exactly the [G]boy next door

[Verse 4]
[G]
He'll tell you about Usher
Whose house burned in his mind
His love for his dear sister
Her death would drive him wild
The murder of a stranger
The murder of a friend
The call[C]ings from the pits of hell
That [G]never seem to end.

[Verse 5]
These are the stories of [G]Edgar Allan [C]Poe
Not exactly the boy [G]next door
These are the stories of Edgar Allan [C]Poe
Not exactly the boy [G]next door
[F][C][G]

[Verse 6]
[C]The dia[G]bolic image of the city and the sea
The chaos and the carnage that reside deep
within me
Decapitations â?? poisonings
â??hellish not a bore
You [C]won't need 3D glasses to
pass [G]beyond this door.

[Verse 7]
These are the [G]stories of Edgar Allan [C]Poe
Not exactly the [G]boy next door

[Verse 8]
No Nosferatu Vincent Price [G]or
naked women here
[C]A mind unfurled a mind unbent
is all we have [G]here
Truth, fried orangutans flutter to the stage
[C]Leave your expectations home
And listen to the stories of
Edgar Al[G]lan Poe.
[F][C][G]

[Verse 9]
[C]We giv[G]e you the soliloquy
the raven at the door
The flaming pits the moving
walls no equilibrium
No ballast no bombast
The unvarnished truth we've got
[C]A mind that swoons g[G]uiltily at night

[Interlude 1]
Cooking ravings in a pot.
[G][C][G]

[Verse 10]
[G]A t[C]ell[G]- tale heart a rotting cask
A valley of unrest
A con[C]queror worm devouring [G]souls
Keep the best for last
Rings for Annie Lee
As Poe's buried alive
[C]Regretting his beloved's death in all her

[Verse 11]
Many guises.
[G]These are the stories of Edgar Allan [C]Poe
[G]Not [C]exactly the boy nex[G]t
[C]
[G]door
