Am 
I held the nail in place, she hammered it down 
Into the golden pine whose roots grew from this ground 
These windows I'd look no more upon this little town 
We took away those eyes that day 
Covered them in golden brown 
Board out the light, she said, no ray of it I'll see 
I won't let the sun rise again now my man has left me 
Board out that mocking grin that grows the trees so green  
While my lover lies six feet below, worms picking his bones clean  

D     Am 
Oh devil lock the doors 
D     Am 
I won't be needing them no more 
D     Am 
Throw away the key 
C     Am 
My own true love has left me 

She said, this cottage'll be my grave my casket and my room  
Hoist a cross aloft the rooftop let the world know I am doomed 
I'll share my lover's fate if I can't share his tomb 
My god won't abide no suicide so I'll wait here in this gloom 

D     Am 
Oh devil lock the doors 
D     Am 
I won't be needing them no more 
D     Am 
Throw away the key 
C     Am 
My own true love has left me
