Em G
There's not a man can help me, they only make it worse
A B
Tried and tried for years on end to try to break this curse
Em G
This curse was cast upon me by a madman's dying breath

Feel his hands around my throat as he drags me to my death

And the devil sends the hell hounds for me boys

The devil sends the hell hounds for me

[Verse 1]
Em G
Hell hounds come a calling they're howling at my door
A B
I wish they'd come and claim me I can't take this any more
Em G
Tonight I lay with a buxom whore in a brothel drenched in beer
A B
Only the dead will understand or really know my fear
Em G
They chase me through the dark streets, they're screaming out my name
A B
The more I try to run away the more it seems in vain
Em G
They chase me to the dark wood down by the riverside
A B
And I wish they'd come and claim me 'cause forever I can't hide
[Chorus]
Em G A B
And the devil sends the hell hounds for me boys
Em B Em B Em
The devil sends the hell hounds for me
[Bridge]
Em G A B
(Repeat x 3)
Em B Em B Em
[Verse 2]
Em G
The hell hounds come a calling when I'm lying in my bed
A B
I try to cover up my ears but the howling's in my head
Em G
The devil's in the corner he's laughing in my face
A B
As they drag me screaming through the night to my final resting place
Em G
They smash my head wide open, they rape and torture me
A B
They put a rope around my neck and hang me from a tree
Em G
They flog me with the nine tails, they hang me out to dry
A B
So the crows can feed upon my bones to make sure that I die
[Chorus]
Em G A B
And the devil sends the hell hounds for me boys
Em B Em B Em
The devil sends the hell hounds for me
[Bridge]
Em G A B
(Repeat x 3)
