[Intro]
Play slowly; Single strums for the 1st chord sequence
EmThere's not a man can help me, Gthey only make it worse
ATried and tried for years on end to Btry to break this curse
EmThis curse was cast upon me by a Gmadman's dying breath
AFeel his hands around my throat as he Bdrags me to my death
And the Emdevil sends the Ghell hounds for Ame Bboys
The Emdevil sends the Bhell hounds for EmmeB  Em  
[Bridge]
Full tempo (172bpm) from here

Em  B  Em B Em
[Verse 1]
EmHell hounds come a calling they're Ghowling at my door
I Awish they'd come and claim me I can't Btake this any more
EmTonight I lay with a buxom whore in a Gbrothel drenched in beer
AOnly the dead will understand or Breally know my fear
They Emchase me through the dark streets, they're Gscreaming out my name
The Amore I try to run away the Bmore it seems in vain
They Emchase me to the dark wood down Gby the riverside
And I Awish they'd come and claim me 'cause forBever I can't hide
[Chorus]
And the Emdevil sends the Ghell hounds for Ame Bboys
The Emdevil sends the Bhell hounds for EmmeB  Em  
[Bridge]
Em(RepGeat Ax B3)
Em  B  Em B Em
[Verse 2]
The Emhell hounds come a calling when I'm Glying in my bed
I Atry to cover up my ears but the Bhowling's in my head
The Emdevil's in the corner he's Glaughing in my face
As they Adrag me screaming through the night to my Bfinal resting place
They Emsmash my head wide open, they Grape and torture me
They Aput a rope around my neck and Bhang me from a tree
They Emflog me with the nine tails, they Ghang me out to dry
So the Acrows can feed upon my bones to Bmake sure that I die
[Chorus]
And the Emdevil sends the Ghell hounds for Ame Bboys
The Emdevil sends the Bhell hounds for EmmeB  Em
