Intro: E7sus2 Bm7 E7sus2 Bm7 Bm9

Verse 1:
Em7                             Bm7
Bashee playing magician sitting lotus on the floor,
Em7                         Bm7               Bm9
Belly dancing beauty with a power driven saw,
Em7                                Bm7
Had my share of nightmares, didn't think there could be much more,
     G                  A              Bm   (nc)
Then in walked Roderick Usher with the Lady Eleanor

Verse 2:
(nc)    Em7                               Bm7
She  ...tied my eyes with the ribbon of a silken ghostly thread,
  Em7                                Bm7                     Bm9
I gazed, with troubled vision, on an old four - poster bed,
      Em7                           Bm7
Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head,
     G               A                    Bm   (nc)
Then bid me come a - long with her to the land of the dancing dead

Chorus:
(nc)     G    A      Dmaj7       Gmaj7 G    A      Dmaj7       Gmaj7
But it's al - right, Lady Elea - nor,  al - right, Lady Elea - nor,
D        A             E        E6 E7    E          E7 E6
I'm al - right where I am----------------!

(She...)

Verse 3:
    Em7                                    Bm7
She gazed with the love and beauty, like a mother to a son,
     Em7                           Bm7                  Bm9
Like living, dying, seeing, being, all rolled into one,
      Em7                             Bm7
Then, all at once, I heard some music playing in my bones,
    G                 A                     Bm       (nc)
The same old song I'd heard for years, re - minding (a -) me of home

Chorus:
(nc)     G    A      Dmaj7       Gmaj7   G    A      Dmaj7       Gmaj7
But it's al - right, Lady Elea - nor,    al - right, Lady Elea - nor,
D        A             E        E6 E7   E          E7 E6
I'm al - right where I am----------------!

(Then...)

Verse 4:
       Em7                             Bm7
Then...creeping on towards me, licking lips with tongues of fire,
  Em7                             Bm7
a host of golden demons screaming lust and base desire,
    Em7                                 Bm7
And when it seemed for certain that the screams could get no higher,
  G                  A              Bm    (nc)
I heard a voice, a - bove the rest, screaming you're a liar

Chorus:
(nc)     G    A      Dmaj7       Gmaj7   G    A      Dmaj7       Gmaj7
But it's al - right, Lady Elea - nor,    al - right, Lady Elea - nor,
D        A                  Gmaj7   Gmaj7   Gmaj7  D      Dmaj7   D 
I'm al - right here in your arms-----!
