 {The tab is a little short on space for all the fast notes -- suffice it
 to say that 23232 means a trill with hammer-ons and pull-offs, not a note
 played at the 23,232th fret.}

   Am                                                        
 I  come old friend from hell tonight across the rotting sea.
         Am                                         
 Nor the  nails of the cross nor the blood of Christ
 Can bring you help this eve.
     Dm                                   Am    
 The  dead have come to claim a debt from  thee.
      Dm                                      Am      G 
 They  stand outside your door four score and  three. 
 
         C                     F                
 Did you  keep a watch for the  dead man's wind,
         C                       G                 
 Did you  see the woman with the  comb in her hand,
 C                    F                  
  Wailing away on the  wall on the strand
        C                      G                   
 As you  danced to the Turkish  song of the damned.
 
 Am Am Dm 
   
 
       Am                                                      
 You remember when the ship went down, you left me on the deck.
     Am                                                            
 The  captain's corpse jumped up and threw his arms around my neck.
     Dm                                  Am    
 For  all these years I've had him on my  back.
      Dm                                 Am     G 
 This  debt cannot be paid with all your  jack.

 Repeat Intro Riff
 
     Am                                                 
 And  as I sit and talk to you I see your face go white.
      Am                                               
 This  shadow hanging over me is no trick of the light.
     Dm                               Am    
 The  spectre on my back will soon be  free.
     Dm                                   Am     G 
 The  dead have come to claim a debt from  thee.
