Key: Am

First part:

   C             Cadd#11
So suddenly the madness came
         F/C                 C
With it's whiskered, wolven, ether pangs
                          Cadd#11
He locked the door And he shut the blinds
       F/C                       C
He laid down on the floor and he slept like iron
          Fm6              Gm7
While the dirty knife bore deep
  C
Into his spine
               Cadd#11
The blood runs crazy
               C
The blood runs crazy

Second part::

Am
Cascading letters pool on the stairs
                       Ammaj7
The grass is high, the cats are wild
    Am         Am/G      Am/F#        Am/F
You can't even touch the tip of their tails
Am/E    Am                    Adim
And the blood runs crazy with giant strides
        Am         Am/G#  Am/G  Am/F#
He sang nursery rhymes to paralyze
    Am/F        Am/F#        Am
The wolves that eddy out the corner of his eyes
         Am          Am/G#  Am/G       Am/F#
But they squared him frozen where he stood
       Am/F        Am/F#     Am
In the glow of the furniture piled high for firewood
        Am                    Adim7
And the blood runs crazy with giant strides
        Am       Am/B       Am/C    Am/D  Am/E
And the woodsman failed to breech those
 Fmaj7
 fangs in time
        Am          Am/B        Am/C       Am/D
So they dragged him through the underbrush
 Am/E   Fmaj7                    Adim7
Wearing three winter coats and a dirty knife
