verse 3 

Dm        Am 
Beam of a flashlight, 
Dm               Am 
All night in the woods. 
Em           C 
Hunt us like dogs, 
         F                G 
And then string us up for good. 
C        Am            F 
Keep one step ahead of enemies. 
C        Am                     Em                  F 
Foretell worse things than such frightful nights as these. 
                            G 
Lead us to the beach by our hands, 
    C                     F    G 
And bury us there in the sand.
