The Red Death Ball

Intro:  Am    Em    Am   Em


Am
nothing much to see,
Em
but a sad, sad, girl
Am
in purple polka dots
Em
and her long black curls
Am
she sorts the sad remains
Em
of her broken baby dolls
Am
such delicate delight
Em
in the red death ball.
F                G
but they don't see...

Am
if only for a friend,
Em
maybe one she'd spare
Am
after mommy by her hand,
Em
even daddy didn't care
Am
she locked away the dark
Em
and waited for the day
F             G
she could play


Am
there's nowhere to run
G
and no one can hide
Dm
come one, come all
E
to the red death ball
Am
like pawns in play
G
we all fall down
Dm
so come one come all
E
to the red death ball

Am
the taste of 23
Em
the time had come
Am
the invitation read
Em
Drink, Dance, and Fun!
Am
the guests they filled the hall
Em
as she succumbs to lusts for gore

F                      G
our hostess locked the door...

Am
the screams were heard for miles
Em
the sight no one believed
Am
she dreamed that they would bleed
Em
but dreams can much deceive
Am
the scarlet river flowed
Em
now our villain is free

F               G
not one survived...

Am
there's nowhere to run
G
and no one can hide
Dm
come one, come all
E
to the red death ball
Am
like pawns in play
G
we all fall down
Dm
so come one come all
E
to the red death ball

F
and as she danced
Em
they took her down
Dm               Em
among what was left of them
F    Em      F    Em
(away she went)

Fm                G
but they don't see....

Am
there's nowhere to run
G
and no one can hide
Dm
come one, come all
E
to the red death ball
Am
like pawns in play
G
we all fall down
Dm
so come one come all
E
to the red death ball
