Verse:
         Em                           G
Tear it down, tear it down around my head
       Em                         G
I need you to bury this beneath my bed
     Em                       C              G
The crows in the garden are laughing at my expense
         Em                        C                G
Drowning out all the lies that I might have told instead
     Em                          G
My stone, my shield, my steady hand
           Em                          G
Hold your light to the darkness in my head
         Em                            C                G
Put your ear to my heart or set your teeth against my throat
            Em               C                               G
Give me something pretty to wear beneath my blood-stained clothes

Chorus:
      Em          C             Em
My darling, the devil knows my name

(Oh...)

Verse:
        Em                           G
Lay me down, pour the dirt into our bed
          Em                                  G
Tell the crows they can have their pound of flesh
      Em                       C               G
The ghosts at the window echo all our quiet prayers
           Em                    C                     G
When they come for us, they'll come with hammers and nails
     Em           C             Am
My darling, the devil knows my name

Bridge:
Em
My name
Am  Em
My name

Outro:
Em                     C
Get on your knees and dig up the garden
           Em
Won't you throw down that spade and
C
Dig up the garden, darling?
Em                        C
Get your hands dirty and rip up the garden
          Em            Am             Em
Won't you cut down that apple tree for me?
