Key: Gm Intro: Gm Gbdim Bb/F Eb Cm Bb Cm Dm Verse 1: Gm Gbdim In the forest where the roads don’t go Bb/F Eb Lived a weary wizard all alone Cm Bb Mixing potions and his tonics, too Cm Dm Trying to make gold with every brew Gm Gbdim Then one night the fiercest flood had came Bb/F Eb Every formula had washed away Cm Bb Desperate, he turned to the darkest tomes Cm Dm Filled with magic only evil knows
Verse 2: Gm Gbdim He cried out with a summoning spell Bb/F Eb A demon rose from beneath the well Cm Bb So pronounced was the wizard’s pain Cm Dm He was offered up a simple exchange Gm Gbdim All the gold he could ever dream Bb/F Eb For his life’s most important thing Cm Bb Without question, he signed his name Cm Dm Not knowing there would be hell to pay Instrumental: Gm Gbdim Bb/F Eb Cm Bb Cm Dm Verse 3: Gm Gbdim The wizard woke once the deal was done Bb/F Eb Turned around to search for what was gone Cm Bb Still remained his life’s important things Cm Dm Plus a heavy bag of golden rings Gm Gbdim Two years later with his wealth in hand Bb/F Eb He built the tallest cabin in the land Cm Bb Set his sights on love and found a wife Cm Dm Made their vows under the starry lights Verse 4: Gm Gbdim He prayed to God the demon wouldn’t take Bb/F Eb His only love for his past mistakes Cm Bb But his wife stayed alive and well Cm Dm The wizard hoped he averted Hell Gm Gbdim Four years later she bore a child Bb/F Eb The flesh and blood of borrowed time Cm Bb In his cabin they lived like kings Cm Dm Not knowing what the future would bring Instrumental: Gm Gbdim Bb/F Eb Cm Bb Cm Dm Verse 5: Gm Gbdim Six years later from that fateful day Bb/F Eb The demon finally came to stake his claim Cm Bb The wizard’s most important thing in life Cm Dm The man jumped up to shield his wife and child Gm Gbdim He begged and pleaded, all could hear his cries Bb/F Eb But no words could change the demon’s mind Cm Bb With a spell the wizard’s body tore Cm Dm Into a horrid monster he transformed Verse 6: Gm Gbdim His bones bent backwards as he writhed Bb/F Eb Like a beast, bloodlust in his eyes Cm Bb ‘Cause his life’s most important thing Cm Dm Wasn’t wife or child, it was his sanity Gm Gbdim He turned his gaze to his love so sweet Bb/F Eb With a mouth full of sharpened teeth Cm Bb Filled with terror, she ran with haste Cm Dm Child in hand, she left him to his fate Instrumental: Gm Gbdim Bb/F Eb Cm Bb Cm Dm Verse 7: Gm Gbdim In the forest where nobody goes Bb/F Eb Lives a wizard that still haunts its roads Cm Bb A wicked smile and staff of oak Cm Dm Holding up what’s left of his cracked bones Gm Gbdim He spends his days at the wishing well Bb/F Eb Mixing potions that won’t make him well Cm Dm All the riches in the world won’t quell Cm Dm A life of pain from a deal with Hell
