C       F     Dm  Bb
When he died

Turns out he left behind
  C               F     Dm           Bb
a mansion full of other people's skulls
    C                  F     Dm          Bb
The odd thing is, they never found his own
C       F
When he died

He somehow left behind
        C              F       Dm        Bb
strange symbols on the floor beneath his corpse
  C           F        Dm       Bb        C
Investigators said the wood was scorched
        F    Dm Bb C
When he died

C       Ab     Fm
When he died
     Db            Eb         Ab    Fm    Db
They found so many scorpions inside his lungs
Eb       Ab    Fm
When he died
    Db             Eb                Ab     Fm
The statues of his missing children cried
         Db             Eb      F      Dm Bb C
What was later found to be his blood

Verse 3:
C       F          Dm              Bb
When he died (On a dark and stormy night)
     C              F           Dm           Bb
They telephoned his wife (Who reacted with delight)
    C             F     Dm       Bb       C
But gradually her voice began to fade to nothing
        F        Dm     Bb
And the Laughing Record played
    (nc)            F      Dm Bb C
The Laughing Record played

They found a message etched into his spine
Fm   Db   Eb       Ab     Fm
That said when he died
           Db            Eb                   Ab     Fm
An endless age of untold nightmares would be nigh
        Db                   Eb        F    Dm Bb C
And the blood would make the seas run red

When he died (On a dark and stormy night)
  C                  F        Dm            Bb
a nearby shed caught fire (It simply caught alight)
    C                     F            Dm       Bb
And when they cleared the charred wood from the ground
  C                 F        Dm   Bb
Inside they found a painting of a clown
     C               F      Dm     Bb
He'd painted it when he was just a child
    C                 F    Dm
But scrawled upon the back
      Bb     C          Ab    Fm Db
Was exactly when he... died
