Lyrics

(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.

(F)E ven when you shut your eyes, you still

that you (F)sold a son

and you can’t tell (F)an y one.

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 stand ing on your step and he’s (F#dim)knock ing at your (Cm)door,

he’s (F#dim)knock ing at your (Cm)door,

he’s (F#dim)knock ing at your door.

Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
