G C
Martha has a madman standing hidden in the shadows
G C Em Em C D Em
He's got a long curved Turkish dagger with a bejewelled handle
[Verse]
Em C D
He's tellin' her the world is full of freaks and geeks and simples
Em C D Em
And he's hiding like a leprechaun under stones and in the ripples
Em C D Em
In the pool of time she thought she knew it - but someone threw a stone into it
Em C D Em
Which breaks up the surface and it's making her nervous and it's true
A Em Bm Em
What can she do, yes it's true
A Em D
What can she do
G G/F# Em C D G G Cm D F
Martha yes I guess you'll have to wait around - another thousand years
[Refrain]
G G/F# Em C D
Martha's gettin' nervous as she wanders through his valley
G G/F# Em C D Em
Where the shadows always frightening and the whispers tell her stories
[Verse]
