Capo 5
So Gsuddenly the madness came
With it's Cwhiskered, wolven, etGher pangs
He locked the door
And he shut the blinds
He laid Cdown on the floor and he Gslept like iron
While the dirty knife bore dCeep
GInto his spine
The blood runs crazy
The blood runs Emcrazy
EmCascading letters pool on the stairs
The grass is high, the cats are wild
You can't even touch the Gtip of their tails
And the Emblood runs crazy with giant strides
He sang nursery rhymes to Gparalyze
The Cwolves that Eddy out the Emcorner of his eyes
But they squared him frozen where he stood
In the Cglow of the furniture Empiled high for firewood
And the Emblood runs crazy with giant strides
And the Emwoodsman Gfailed to breech those Cfangs in time
So they Emdragged him through the Gunderbrush
Wearing Cthree winter coats and a C7dirty knife
Ukrainian Part :
Emkrichit shaleno, strekoche zubami -> He shouts very loudly, grinding his teeth
CLa la la la, la la la la
Emkrichit shaleno, strekoche zubami
CLa la la la, la la la la

Capo 5

So suddenly the madness came

C G

With it's whiskered, wolven, ether pangs

He locked the door

And he shut the blinds

C G

He laid down on the floor and he slept like iron

While the dirty knife bore deep

Into his spine

The blood runs crazy

Cascading letters pool on the stairs

The grass is high, the cats are wild

You can't even touch the tip of their tails

And the blood runs crazy with giant strides

He sang nursery rhymes to paralyze

C Em

The wolves that Eddy out the corner of his eyes

But they squared him frozen where he stood

C Em

In the glow of the furniture piled high for firewood

And the blood runs crazy with giant strides

Em G C

And the woodsman failed to breech those fangs in time

Em G

So they dragged him through the underbrush

C C7

Wearing three winter coats and a dirty knife

Ukrainian Part :

krichit shaleno, strekoche zubami -> He shouts very loudly, grinding his teeth

La la la la, la la la la

krichit shaleno, strekoche zubami

La la la la, la la la la
