[Verse 1]
"Brimstone [Am]eyes she [F]hath,
black in [G]colour looking [Am]sad
The hair like straw, her skin so [F]raw...
a de[G]bauchery decadent"

[Verse 2]
[Am]Grandmother used to tell
"be[F]ware do not go [C]near
the [G]hut - I [Am]say!"
It was believed to be the [F]home of a witch
- a [C]house left [G]in de[C]cay

[Verse 3]
bridge: They speakest al[G]right
'Cause I went one [Am]night[C]
An[G]d saw the o[Am]ld[G][F#][F]
[Dm]hous[E]e[C][G][Am][C]
Ivy all [G]around
Suddenly I was bound
[F]And fell in [Dm]dark[E]ness[Am]

[Verse 4]
People [Am]brave [F]enough went
and [G]faced the things they [Am]said
They never came back, neither to [F]be,
sorry [G]for [Am]their misbelieve

[Verse 5]
Only pieces [Am]of their bodies ha[F]nging up
on the [C]strangest [G]trees they [Am]found
Forming shapes that may have linked
to [F]whom the parts belonged
[C]in a [G]whole life[C]time

[Verse 6]

[Am]chorus:
In her arms you'll crackle like fire
In the night you'll [F]see her Swallowtail
[Am]When she's near you'll
hear hell's choirs
[C]Run (as) fast as [G]you can,
[Am]righ[F]t in[Am] the[C] ar[G]ms of the un known[Am]
[C][G]
[Am]

[Verse 7]
Swallowtail Swallowtail
[F]they told me that your evil would pre[C]vail
on [G]me, but [F]now I know you [G]are not
what they say
[Am]Swallowtail Swallowtail your beaut[F]y
comes like sunshine after [C]rain, so [G]warm,
an [F]unexpected spark [G]to wash away the [F]dark[G]

[Verse 8]
[Am]She was supposed to be so old,[F] deceitful,
[C]not [G]dec[Am]eivable
Death she'd exhale from her [F]never
ending [C]rings hanging [G]on her [C]nose

[Verse 9]
bridge: They speakest no [G]right
'Cause I went one night
[Am]And saw [G]the [Am]old h[C]ouse
Butterflies [G]around
Suddenly I was bound

All the things they told me - liars!
