Lyrics & ChordsClick chords to see diagrams

Standard tuning no capo. Key of E minor. 
Good luck with those diminished chords. 
Original tabbers had issues with chords that shared common notes, mislabeling an Am as a C, etc 
I tried my lot at correcting the lyrics, chords placement, and chord structure.

Mr. EmMalum's got a Edimsec--Emret, he Edimkeeps Emon Cgiv-Eming  Edimspee-Emches.

With a Gsharp and able Cwit to keep the dBogs at bay.

When the Amtruth arBrives, you Emwont believe your Geyes.
He's Amtriumph's pessiGmist, but Amhe's no less conB7tent.
     CHORUS
With the Gwo-rld in the Amgrip of his hands,
He'll crush the Emair out of it's Cmlungs. 
Say we don't wGant him to hAmave it all,
But now it's Emjust too late to aCsk,
Because his Dhold has turned so Btight.
     VERSE 2
His Empuppets to the Edimleft Emand his Edimpawns Emto Cline Emthe Edimright,Em  
But every Emeye is front and Edimcen--Emter, a F#dimcruel intoxication,
From the Gsap that trickles Cdown his branches Bto their mouths.
     PRE-CHORUS
When the Amtruth arBrives, you Emwont believe your Geyes.
A Amvicious Gchampion, but Amhe's no less Bcontent.
     CHORUS

Because his Dhold has turned so Btight.
     BRIDGE
The Emair we're barely breathings not enouCgh,
And this final gDasp that rattles us to B7bed,
The last Emthing that we will see, is Mr. CMalum.
Tighten his Gtie,
When he slips on his Csuit, 
A link to Gcuff,
And the shine of his shCmoes.
But when the tDruth arrived, you didn't trust your Beyes.
