Martha has a madman standing hidden in the shadows
           G                                 C                  Em Em C D Em

         Em                             C                   D    Em
And he's hiding like a leprechaun under stones and in the ripples
       Em                                                         C     D      Em

      Em                                        C  D             Em
Which breaks up the surface and it's making her nervous and it's true
