Verse 1:
Am              Em
Thunder rolling in to drown
                 F
November moon in cold black rain
   Am                   Em
As lightning splits the sky apart
    F              Fmaj7
I'm whispering his name
Am             Em
He has to wake up
                 Fmaj7
Love's slipping away
Em               F
Hear the bells beyond the sea
     Em         F
It's almost too late

Verse 2:
Am              Em
Shadows growing closer now
                 F
There is nowhere left to hide
Am                 Em
I can't break this dreamless sleep
   F           Fmaj7
However hard I try
    Am         Em
I'm down on my knees
                Fmaj7
And I’m empty inside


Chorus:
Em               F
Something wicked this way comes
     Em                Dm
From out the cruel and treacherous night
Em               Dm
Something wicked this way comes
   Em            Dm
To steal away my brother's life
Em               Dm
Something wicked this way comes

                    Am
I can never say goodbye

Something wicked this way comes
