[Verse 1] (N.C for most of the verse so these are implied by the melody)
(Am)               (E)                   (C)
  In a town in the woods at the top of a hill
                     (D)
There's a house where no one lives
(F/C)               (C)                 (D)              (E)
  So you take a big bag of your big city money there, and buy it
(Am)                    (E)
  Then at night when the house is dark
          (C)                 (D)
And you're all alone there's a noise upstairs
(F/C)              (C)                          (D)                    (E)
  At the top of the stairs there's a door so you take a deep breath and try it
And the F/Cflashlight shows you Csomething moving Bm7b5just inside the Amdoor
There's a F/Ctattered dress and a Cfeeling you have Dfelt somewhere beEfore...
[Chorus]
 AmAnd there's a creepy doll,  Fmaj7/Cthat always follows you
 GIt's got a ruined eye, that's DalGways EopAmen
 AmAnd there's a creepy doll,  Fmaj7/Cthat always follows you
 GIt's got a pretty mouth, to swDallGow Eyou AmwholeFmaj7#11  
[Verse 2]
 AmSo you scream and you Eclose the door
And you Ctell yourself it was Djust a dream
 F/CIn the morning you Chead into town cause you Dwant to go anEtiquing
 AmIn the store there's a Estrange old man
With a Cwandering eye and a Dwithered hand
 F/CWhen he hands you the Cold wooden box you can Dhear his old bones Ecreaking
And you F/Cknow what you will Cfind inside the Bm7b5moment that you Amsee
That F/Csomeone carved your Cname into the Dtarnished silver Ekey
[Chorus]
 AmAnd there's a creepy doll,  Fmaj7/Cthat always follows you
 GIt's got a ruined eye, that's DalGways EopAmen
 AmAnd there's a creepy doll,  Fmaj7/Cthat always follows you
 GIt's got a pretty mouth, to swDallGow Eyou Amwhole
[Bridge]
And F/Cwhen you come home Clate the doll is Bm7b5waiting up for Amyou
And F/Cwhen you fix a Csnack the doll says Bm7b5it would like one Amtoo
The F/Cdoll is in your Ghouse and in your F/Croom and in your Gbed
The F/Cdoll is in your Geyes and in your F/Carms and in your Ghead and you are Ccrazy

 AmNow it's late and you Ehead downstairs
Cause you Cjust can't sleep so you Dmake some tea
 F/CAnd the doll disapCprovingly asks if you Dreally need that much Ehoney
 AmYou decide that you've Ehad enough
And you Clock the doll in the Dwooden box
 F/CYou put the box in the Cfireplace next to your Dbag of big city Emoney
As the F/Csmoke fills up your Ctiny room there's Bm7b5nothing you can Amdo
And F/Cfar too late you Csee the one Dinside the box is Eyou
