Strum
D-DU-UDU
So  she woke up, woke up from where  she was, lyin' still
 Said "I,  I gotta do somethin' about where we're goin'"
 Stepped on steam train
 Stepped out of the driving rain, maybe
 Run from the darkness, in the night.
 Singing
Ah,
 Ah-la-la-la-de-day
Ah-la-la-la-de-day
 Ah-la-la-de-day
Sweet  the sin, bitter the taste  in my mouth
 I see seven towers, but I only see  one way out
 You gotta cry  without weeping, talk without speaking
scream  without raising your voice
 You know I took the poison
 From the poison stream, then I floated,  out of here
 Singing
Ah,
 Ah-la-la-la-de-day
Ah-la-la-la-de-day
 Ah-la-la-de-day
 Interlude/Bridge:
Oooooooooooo,  Ooo Ooo Ooo  Oooooo
Oooooooooooo,  Ooo Ooo Ooo  Oooooo
She  runs through the streets with eyes painted red
Under  a black belly of clouds in the rain
in  through a doorway, she brings me
white  gold and pearls stolen from the sea
 she is raging  she is raging and storm  blows up in her eyes
 Ending Chorus:
 She will,
suffer  the needle chill,
 She's running to stand, still.
 Harmonica Riff played over D and G chord progression to end song.
