Intro:

 Em Em G G D D Am Am


Verse:
 Em                       Em
Tiny feet padding up the steep white caps
 G                          G
Lips raised in wonder, not one look back
 D                                 D
And mother did warn you about the trouble you'd bring
 Am                           Am
Going up the mountain to the Dark Erl King
 Em           Em
(Who Are You)
 G            G
(Who Are You)
 D            D
(Who Are You)
 Am           Am
(Who Are You)



Verse 2:
  Em                               Em
The trees close around you as you make your way
  G                         G
Wide eyes glowing from the belly of caves
 D                          D
Caught on brambles, drawing blood from skin
 Am                                 Am
But you just keep on following the Dark Erl King


Chorus:
Em                          Em
I will give you everything your heart desires
G                             G
Candy and cherry cream, just what you like
D                                D
Nestle in the branches, see the world up high
Am                               Am
I will give you everything, just pay the price

Em


Verse 3:
     Em                                Em
The hunters search the village, every knob and nook
      G                         G
Soon, they start to run out of places to look
      D                          D
And Mother feels terror growing from within
      Am                              Am
They haven't checked the lands of the Dark Erl King


Chorus:
Em                          Em
I will give you everything your heart desires
G                             G
Candy and cherry cream, just what you like
D                               D
Nestle in the branches see the world up high
Am                                Am
I will give you everything, just pay the price


Bridge:
Em
Torches chase away the night, pounding up the path
G
Come here my child, just do as I ask
D
Take my ready hand leave the world behind
Am
Down into the dark, let your soul be
N.C.
Mine


Chorus:
Em                          Em
I will give you everything your heart desires
G                             G
Candy and cherry cream, just what you like
D                                D
Nestle in the branches, see the world up high
Am                               Am
I will give you everything, just pay the price.

Em


Verse 4:
Em                    Em
The sun pulls the sky in it's wake
G                             G
The child sleeps soundly on a bed of hay
D                           D
The hilltops wrestle with defeated sighs
Am                             Am
Waiting for the day when your soul is mine


Outro:
    Am
Oh, waiting for the day when your soul is mine
