Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]A bad young girl
With hair [Gm]white as milk
[G]Got witches' shoes
Which shone [Gm]bright red
[G]And had been finely wov[Gm]en
[C]From the oldest [Gsus4]silk
[G]With drops of blood to dye each thr[C]ead[Gm]
[G]She put them on When she began

[Verse 2]
[Gm]
to [G]dance[Gm]
[G]She heard the witches play the[Gm]ir strings
[G]Which have been finely tun[Gm]ed
[C]To dy[Gm]ing elephants
[G]And to the shrieks of toppled [Gm]kings
[G]She pirouetted and she grand-

[Verse 3]
jetéed
Et cetera, till she was out of breath
And when the last note had
finally played
The bad young girl
had danced herself to death
