[Verse 1]
Em            Edim         B7    
Have you ever heard of the 
  Em
Tithing Man?
   Em       Edim            B7   
If nobody's told you yet, I think
   Em
 I can
   A7
He lurks out there between the trees
     Am7                  D7
From darkest shadows, out he creeps
    B7
His lantern glintin' on sharpened 
teeth
   Em           Edim      C7 
Is probably the very last thing 
          B7
you'll see


[Verse 2]
Continues after the ad
Em              Edim             
Let me tell you something 'bout 
   B7      Em
the Tithing Man
      Em        Edim       B7    
He'll make your goosebumps flap 
   Em
and dance
       A7
You'll hear him wail like a clarinet
     Am7                   
Your bones will rattle like 
 D7
castanets
       B7
You'll beg and weep like violins
    Em             Edim   C7 B7
But it'll all just end in violence


[Verse 3]
Em         Edim          C7      B7
Run if you happen on the Tithing Man
Em               Edim           
Tithed from that lantеrn in his 
B7      Em
crooked hand
A7
If he sees you, find a tree
Am7             D7
Whisper to it, "Lеave me be"
B7
Whisper high and whisper low
       Em   Edim          C7     
'Cause only magic's gonna save 
   B7
your soul
