1) When we're working nights, the village round
C majorC
the old church becomes scary town.
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
All curtained windows and bolted doors
FF
but never an eye to see
Bb majorBb FF Bb majorBb FF
as us fairy folks sweep from the hill.
Bb majorBb
Never caught us and never will.
Eb MajorEb G minorGm
Pulling roses and daffodils
D MajorD F#F#
mayhem in the high degree.

2) The blacksmith chased us all to ground.
C majorC
They searched all night we were never found.
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
The tinker boys and the sheriff's men
FF
shaking the tallest tree.
Bb majorBb FF Bb majorBb FF
And we sat and watched the women hide.
Bb majorBb
Laughed so much we split our sides.
Eb MajorEb G minorGm
Scattered horses that they would ride
D MajorD F#F#
mayhem in the high degree.

3) We crossed through fields of midnight green
Eb MajorEb
often heard but seldom seen.
DmDm C majorC FF
Tore along hedges,stripping leaves
G#G#
no-one could quite agree
C#C# G#G# C#C# G#G#
whether we came from north or south.
C#C#
We stole the screams from out their mouths
F#F# BbmBbm
and go where no man would allow
FF A augmentedA
mayhem in the high degree.

4) Like scaly carp and feathered swan
Eb MajorEb
to nature's world we do belong.
DmDm C majorC FF
We ride the thin winds of the night
G#G#
and set dark spirits free.
C#C# G#G# C#C# G#G#
We terrify the mare and foal.
C#C#
The fox stood still and far too bold.
F#F# BbmBbm
So we strung him up, brush neatly folded;
FF A augmentedA
mayhem, maybe.
