    Cm                   Bbmaj7 
The man steps out in the moonlight
                                Gm
At the sound of a scream from below.
   Cm7            F     
He thinks he is a warrior
      Gm                 Gm7 Gm  
So he picks up his sword and goes.

Cm                    Bbmaj7
From the mouth of the monster
                      Gm
He rescues the maiden fair.
    Cm7             F7
But we know she's a demon
        Gm            Gm7   Gm      
Come to lure him to demon's lair.

C/G     C9/G C   C9/G   C9/G C/G  C9/G  C/G Cadd9     
Through restless foliage and tall trees he  leads
     Eb         Bb/F        Abmaj7       G7b9           Bb A GG A DD A Ex2 
To a house in a clearing, a place in her fear she calls home.


Abm9             Db
"Come with me, I need you,
  Abm9                Db        Ab
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
     Abm9              Db      
I'll give you wine and food too
    Abm9              Db       Ab    
And something special after if you like."


Repeat Intro: D7 Gm Cm D7(#9)

    Cm              Bbmaj7        
And though his body bids him
                 Gm
To enter in with her,
          Cm7              F
There was something in her manner
         Gm             Gm7 Gm 
That his mind could not ignore.

Cm         Bbmaj7
Also it is whispered
                       Gm
In the kingdom far and wide,
     Cm7           F
To beware a little cottage
       Gm      Gm7 Gm       
In the forest in a glade.

C/G     C9/G C   C9/G   C9/G C/G  C9/G  C/G Cadd9
For who knows what magic takes place in his world?
      Eb              Bb/F      Abmaj7    G7b9      Bb A GG A DD A Ex2
So he just thanks her kindly preparing to go on his way.


Abm9             Db
"Come with me, I need you,
  Abm9                Db        Ab 
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
     Abm9              Db 
I'll give you wine and food too
    Abm9              Db       Ab
And something special after if you like.



Bbm        Eb
Come to my garden,
          Db                       Eb
Taste the fruits and the spices of love.
Cm          F7 
You can't resist me,
        Eb                             Eb6/F
I'm the kind that your dreams tell you of."

D7(b9)
"So glad you could make it
       Gm     
We had everything arranged.
Cm                           Dm           
So glad you saw fit to pay a call."

     Cm        Bbmaj7
Some men never listen,
                 Gm
And others never learn,
        Cm7             F
But why this man did as he did
     Gm       Gm7 Gm
Only he will ever know.

Cm             Bbmaj7
He knew he was walking
               Gm
Into a waiting trap,
Cm7           F7 
Neatly set up for him
       Gm         Gm7 Gm
With a bait so richly wrapped.

C/G   C9/G C   C9/G   C9/G C/G  C9/G  C/G  Cadd9
So he went inside there to take on what he found
       Eb      Bb/F            Abmaj7    G7b9           Bb A GG A DD A Ex2
But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires?

Abm9             Db 
"Come with me, I need you,
  Abm9                Db        Ab
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
     Abm9              Db
I'll give you wine and food too
    Abm9              Db           Ab
And something special after if you like."
