Deep Dark Below — Amanda Shires
Chords and lyrics for Deep Dark Below by Amanda Shires (key of D).
Chorus
[F#m]Most of the shingles are gone
[F#m]There are a couple still hanging on
[F#m]Like an old man's teeth
[F#m]Thrid house in, witH the weeds in the limbs
[F#m]and all the broken glass and other peoples trash
[F#m]The windows are all busted out
[F#m]You can slip your way carefully in
[F#m]even stand inside the tape and lay in the shape of her
[F#m]chalk out line
Chorus
[D]Monsters are men that the [F#]devil gets in
And [G]even he gets so [D]bored sometimes
[D]Climbs from his hole, the [F#m]deep dark below
To [G]entertain himself [D]awhile
To [G]entertain himself [F#m]awhile
Verse
[F#m]He puts on the body and clothes
[F#m]Of someone you think you know
[F#m]and you step into those hands like a horse in quicksand
[F#m]you find yourself screaming your way to the end
[F#m]thats what happened to Aleesha
Chorus
She was [D]dancing wild, [F#]tilting from the [F#m]wine
dark [G]hair and diamond [D]shine
[D]lonely and bruised getting [F#m]over getting used
It's [G]usually the week ones he [D]finds
It's [G]usually the week ones he [F#m]finds
Verse
[F#m]And he wanted her beauty, it was all he was after
[F#m]Oh he'd never hips and legs and skin and arms like hers
[F#m]and she was dying for some company
[F#m]they found her some days later
[F#m]undone, scattered and right beside her
[F#m]a straight plain, sledge hammer
Chorus
I heard he [D]plays a mean fiddle and his [F#]bows' made of bones
and it [G]sounds like your deepest [D]desire
[D]lonely and bruised getting [F#m]over getting used
It's [G]usually the week ones he [D]finds
It's [G]usually the week ones he [F#m]finds
