[ spoken ] :
C#m7 A B F# *
darkness falls across the land , the midnight hour is close at hand .
C#m7 A B F# *
creatures crawl in search of blood , to terrorise your neighbourhood .
C#m7 A B F# *
and whosoever shall be found , without the soul for getting down ,
C#m7 A B F# *
must stand and face the hounds of hell and rot inside a corpse’s shell .
( with vocal ad – libs ) :
C#m7 A , B F# * ( x3 ) , C#m7 A
B F# * C#m7
the foulest stench is in the air; the funk of forty thousand years ,
A B F# *
and grizzy ghouls from every tomb , are closing in to seal your doom .
C#m7 A B F# *
and though you fight to stay alive; your body starts to shiver ,
C#m7 A B F# *
for no mere mortal can resist , the evil of the thriller . . .
