  			E                       A                   D 
We found an old doll that was out in the grass, 
                  G                     A 
She had special powers, we said a Black Mass. 
E               A                 D 
We sat in a circle all holding hands 
                 G                        A 
The doll-bed held together with old rubberbands. 
A 
She'll rise, 
A 
she'll rise, 
A 
she'll rise... 
E                       D 
Oh, Lay her down in her gingerbread coffin. 
C                     G              D 
She's so pretty all layed out in white. 
E                    D            
Lay her down in her gingerbread coffin. 
C                     G              D           E 
When we need her, she'll rise to the light... 
E                    A                     D 
We looked down at the ground and into her eyes. 
                     G                          A 
Passed around an old teacup filled up with dead flies. 

Surprise, surprise! 
E                    A                       D 
Were brought but not used, a collection of knives. 
                    G                     A 
We'd remember this moment for all of our lives. 

A 
She'll rise, 
A 
she'll rise, 
A 
she'll rise.... 

Oh... 

Oh... 
E                       D 
Oh, Lay her down in her gingerbread coffin. 
C                     G              D 
She's so pretty all layed out in white. 
E                    D            
Lay her down in her gingerbread coffin. 
C                     G              D           E 
When we need her, she'll rise to the light... 
E                       D 
Lay her down in her gingerbread coffin. 
C            G              D 
It's a flickering, beautiful sight. 
E                    D        
Lay her down in her gingerbread coffin. 
C                     G              D           E 
When we need her, she'll rise to the light.
