(Cm)Shoes up on the ta ble and a (Gm)spi der’s been killed.

(Cm)Some one broke the look ing glass.

There’s a (F)full moon shin ing and the (F)salt’s been spilled.

You’re walk ing on the (F)pave ment cracks,

don’t know what’s gon na (F)come to pass.

Now, you (F)know the dev il’s got your num ber.

You know he’s gon na find ya.

You know he’s right be hind ya.

He’s star ing through your win dows, he’s (F#dim)creep ing down the (Cm)hall.

(Cm)Ain’t no point in clutch ing at your (Gm)ros a ry.

You’re al ways gon na know what was done.
