Em Bm7 Am Em

[Verse 1]
Em
Well the blood runs thicker than the water for Delilah Morreo
Bm7
The daughter of a mad confider, bat and beast and wolf and spider
Am
Never had a chance at all to save her precious mortal soul
Em
The reaper's hold would not let go, for poor Delilah Morreo

[Verse 2]
Em
Two men of equal brilliant minds enchant Delilah Morreo
Bm7
Her love for science was a curse, she wilted and was drawn by hearse
Am
One suitor grew obsessed, he would restore her pretty little soul
Em
Awoke she did with spectral glow, the corpse Delilah Morreo

[Bridge]
Em   Am
Horrified
                   Em       Am
Yes, the poor dear tried to make things right
    Em
But thirst did call
Am
Suitors did fall
Em
The woman's grave was said and done
Am
And yet she lived
             B7
The darkness comes

[Chorus]
Em            G                 Am              B7
Been dead and gone, but not for long (I’m gonna getcha)
Em              G             Am              B7    Em
You’ll hear the howling of my song (I’m gonna geeeeetcha)

Em Am
Oooooh
B7
Hahhh
      Em
Ah-ha-hahhhh

[Verse 3]
Em
No beats except of greasy bat wings for Delilah Morreo
Bm7
But heartless girls they still can love, befriending rats and fallen doves
Am
And then she found out there were more just like her own forgotten soul
Em
But they were bad, they had to go, said Delilah Morreo

[Verse 4]
Em
Vampiric chants and alchemy dabbled Delilah Morreo
Bm7
She thought she might have cured the spell, but things again did not go well
Am
Instead of needing to drink life, she hungered for some hell-bound souls
Em
From then on out, she ate her foes, Miss Delilah Morreo

[Bridge]
Em           Am                    Em       Am
Her fate was sealed, the poor dear tried to make things right
Em
A new thirst called
Am
Vampires fall
Em
The woman's creed and code were true
Am
Sleep tight tonight
               B7
Her teeth will chew


[Chorus]
Em            G                 Am              B7
Been dead and gone, but not for long (I’m gonna getcha)
Em              G             Am              B7    Em
You’ll hear the howling of my song (I’m gonna geeeeetcha)

Em Bm7 Am

Em
Ah, break it down

[Verse 5]
Em
Well the boogeyman fears the wraith Delilah Morreo
Bm7
And Death and her are friends now no matter where it is she goes
Am
So all the Vampires should hide from this lady
Em
This side of the netherworld, she’s the baddest in Hades

[Verse 6]
Em
All the sugar skulls sing her praise, Delilah Morreo
Bm7
There ain't no ghost or specter that’ll stand with her toe to toe
Am
The demon boys love her, it turns the Banshees green
Em
But there ain’t no man for this Vampire Queen!


[Chorus]
Em            G                 Am              B7
Been dead and gone, but not for long (I’m gonna getcha)
Em              G             Am              B7    Em
You’ll hear the howling of my song (I’m gonna geeeeetcha)

Em Am
Aaoooh
B7
*growl*
      Em
Ah-ha-hahhhh!


[Outro]
(or N.C.)
Em Bm7
Ohhh
B7         Em7
Ohh-ho-ho-hohhhh
