 intro:
 Bb A C F G 
      
 Gm                               Dm           
 Sit down on that stool hear the cant of a fool
       Gm                             Dm 
 And a strange tale I'll tell unto to ye
      F                        D#            
 Of a time that I lived at the buff of a hill
            D                Gm    
 'Neath the burial chambers you see
 (all verses use this pattern)
 
 One Saturday night I got up on my bike
 To go to a dance in the town
 I set off at seven to be there at eleven
 No thought of the rain coming down
 
 As I pushed up the hill the rain started to spill
 So for shelter I had to resort
 Helter skelter I went as downhill I sped
 To the trees at the old fairy fort
 
 I pulled up my bike be a tree in the gripe
 To find shelter out of the storm
 The rain it came down and like stones beat the ground
 But it was grand to be dry in that storm
 
 Intro progression 2x
 
 I was dreaming away about better days
 When a voice it says dirty ould night
 I fell over me bike I got such a fright
 When the ghostly voice bid me the night
 
 I jumped up with a start gave the storm not a thought
 As the hail beat a rhythm on me
 And I stared at the tree that had spoken to me
 Not a body was there I could see
 
 Instramental progression:

 2x
 Intro riff 2x
 
 The voice I had heard not another word said
 As the hair on the head stood on me
 And I said an "Our Father" as I peddled much faster
 Away from that ghost haunted tree
 
 (missing verse... anyone know it?)
 
 intro riff 2x
 Instramental riff 2x
 
 For weeks and weeks after with nerves a disaster
 Nowhere near that road would I go
 And from dusk through the night I would shake with the fright
 Of the tree that had haunted me so
 
 Now whenever I go to a dance in the town
 I make sure not to stop on the way
 To be there for eleven I still leave at seven
 But I go by a different way
 
 Instramental riff 2x
