He thought it is myAm rightAm E Am I think I'll stay outside all nightAm E So, silly Herschell he ran fromAm homeAm E Am Free to play and free to roam, alright [Instrumental] Am E Am x4 [Verse 2]Am E Am He made a friend, that very nightAm E Am To keep him from dismay and frightAm E He bestowed to it his scarf andAm his hatAm E Am While initiating a cordial chatAm Then out jumped the beastE Am carnivorous and wildAm E With intentions to feast on theAm guts of the childAm E Herschell's new friend only stoodAm there and smirkedAm E He had given a warning of theAm brute that lurked [Chorus]Dm Am Faster and faster you run through the snowE Am Poor little waif you have nowhere to goDm Am You think you're having fun but if you only knewB Just around the corner death isE waiting for you [Interlude]Am E Am La la la la la la la laAm E Am La la la la la la la la laAm E Am La la la la la la la laContinues after the adAm E Am La la la la la la la la la [Verse 3]Am Terrified and betrayed HerschellE Am ran for his soulAm As the creature pursued like aE Am badgering trollAm E The boy fled with haste for if heAm was caughtAm E Am He'd be gormandized and left to rotAm E But just up ahead a man dressed inAm redAm E Stood in the snow though heAm looked to be deadAm E Herschell beseeched him, sir canAm you help?Am E I'm too young to die, I'm only aAm welp!Am But suddenly the beast, with anE Am impetuous braceAm E Vanquished the man by clutchingAm his faceAm E Am The rueful child wished for his bedAm E He knew he'd be next when the oldAm man was dead! [Chorus]Dm Am Faster and faster you run through the snowE Am Poor little waif you have nowhere to goDm Am You think you're having fun but if you only knewB Just around the corner death isE waiting for you [Instrumental] Am E Am x4 [Verse 4]Am Oh great was to be requital of theE Am man to say the leastAm Like the wing from a fly, he pulledE Am the arm from the beastAm The bloody thing shrieked, but theE Am man didn't careAm His expression was vacant as heE Am proceeded to tearAm E The immaculate snow became smudgedAm with goreAm As the monster convulsed causingE Am blood to pourAm E Am Herschell was safe or so he assumedAm But he could not perceive that hisE Am future was doomedAm E Cause the man's intention toAm engage in the fightAm E Was to have the boy for his ownAm delightAm E Herschell was seized and draggedAm awayAm E His remains were found... theAm following day [Chorus]Dm Am Faster and faster you run through the snowE Am Poor little waif you have nowhere to goDm Am You think you're having fun but if you only knewB Just around the corner death isE waiting for youDm Am Faster and faster you run through the snowE Am Poor little waif you have nowhere to goDm Am You think you're having fun but if you only knewB Just around the corner death isE waiting for youDm Am Faster and faster you run through the snowE Am Poor little waif you have nowhere to goDm Am You think you're having fun but if you only knewB Just around the corner death isE waiting for youDm Am Faster and faster you run through the snowE Am Poor little waif you have nowhere to goDm Am You think you're having fun but if you only knewB Just around the corner death isE waiting for youDm Am Faster and faster you run through the snowE Am Poor little waif you have nowhere to goDm Am B E Uuuaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
