Murder by Death
Steam Rising
Standard Tuning
So this is a pretty simple song, the only parts I'm not fairly certain of are the
interludes w/ the cello. For that, I've mostly had to do guesswork, but it sounds 
alright, so whatever.

There is Emsteam rAmisinB7g from the Emgravel Amon B7the road
There is black coal filling up our homes
It seeps through the window cracks, It slips through the floorboards
The mortar is turning black, the foundation starts to crack
Honey pack your bags and go
Interlude [Dm--Em--Dm--Em] end (i think) on Am--B7--
There is Emsteam, AmrisiB7ng, from thEme belly Amof B7the beast
There is hell on earth there are demons beneath the sheets
They see through the window cracks they slip through the floorboards
The mortar is turning black, the foundation starts to crack
Honey pack you bags and go

There is steam rising from the gravel on the road
There is black coal filling up our homes
It seeps thought he cracks in the windowpane It slips through the floorboards and up
