AmDown    
DmUnder the ground
AmThere's a town there    
EI've been down there
AmIn the middle of the lakDme       
EI hold your hand, for goAmodness' sake
[Verse]
AmWhen the women and the kids are asleepDm  
AmThe walls there 
And the skin of Ethe sheep
AmSo lock all the windows Dmand doors       
EThe Devil's coming for yAmou and yours
[Chorus]
DmLove was all that it couGld give
CBut it died so other towns could Flive 
DmThey don't bury bodies from the Gdrowned
CBut they drowned our litFtle town

DmBuried in water

AmWhen the leaves 
DmGo floating away
AmIn the pale moonlight of Eday    
AmIury anchors in our ghosDmts
EAnd we can let our heartAmbeats go
[Chorus]  
DmLove was all that it couGld give

DmWe're like the lambs to its slauAmghter   
DmBuried in water        
AmBuried in water

[Verse]

Down

Under the ground

There's a town there

I've been down there

Am Dm

In the middle of the lake

E Am

I hold your hand, for goodness' sake

[Verse]

Am Dm

When the women and the kids are asleep

The walls there

And the skin of the sheep

Am Dm

So lock all the windows and doors

E Am

The Devil's coming for you and yours

[Chorus]

Dm G

Love was all that it could give

C F

But it died so other towns could live

Dm G

They don't bury bodies from the drowned

C F

But they drowned our little town

[Bridge]

Dm Am

Like a lamb to his slaughter

Buried in water

[Verse]

When the leaves

Go floating away

Am E

In the pale moonlight of day

Am Dm

Iury anchors in our ghosts

E Am

And we can let our heartbeats go

[Chorus]

Dm G

Love was all that it could give

C F

But it died so other towns could live

Dm G

They don't bury bodies from the drowned

C F

But they drowned our little town

[Outro]

Dm Am

We're like the lambs to its slaughter
