A7                                                 
■  Once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain
                                  A7                      
There was a town where the people known as Happyfolk lived
Am                                                        
■  Their very existence a mystery to the rest of the world
F                                  Am
Obscured as it was by great clouds ■ 
                                    A7   
Here they played out their peaceful lives
                                     A7      
Innocent of the litany of excess and violence
                        A7         
That was growing in the world below
   A7                  
To live in harmony with
                                             Am    
The spirit of the mountain called Monkey was enough


[Chorus]
             F           E                  
Then one day Strangefolk arrived in the town
F            E          
They came in camouflaged
Am                                            F   
Hidden behind dark glasses and no one noticed them
     E        C      
They only saw shadows
        G                    F       
You see without the truth of the eyes
                   E     Am
The Happyfolk were blind ■ 
                                            G    
Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holes
Am              G              Am           G   
Waiting for the sunset to come people going home
Am            G           Am                    G   
Jump out from behind them and shoot them in the head
Am            G      
Now everybody dancing
    Am           G   
The dance of the dead
    Am           G   
The dance of the dead
    Am    G           Am7
The dance of the dead ■  


[Verse]
Am                        A7       
In time Strangefolk found their way
                               A7      
Into the higher reaches of the mountain
                                     F7   
And it was there that they found the caves
   A7                               
Of unimaginable sincerity and beauty
   A7                       
By chance they stumbled upon
                A7                         
The place where all good souls come to rest
                     Am     
The Strangefolk they coveted
              E                     F     
The jewels in these caves above all things
    E                  F                
And soon they began to mine the mountain
E         Am                                  F    
It's rich seam fueling the chaos of their own world
C                 G       
Meanwhile down in the town
F                              E7                      E              
The Happyfolk slept restlessly their dreams Invaded by shadowy figures
E                          
Digging away at their souls
A7                                                   
Every day people would wake and stare at the mountain
                                        Am   
Why was it bringing darkness into their lives
           A7                Am                                 
And as the Strangefolk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain
            F        
Holes began to appear
                     Am       A7         
Bringing with them a cold and bitter wind
                              A7        
That chilled the very soul of the Monkey
                       A7                        
For the first time the Happyfolk felt fearful for
A7                                                            
They knew that soon the Monkey would stir from it's deep sleep
                  A7   
Then there came a sound
              Am                      
Distant first it grew into castrophany
Am                                                 
So immense that it could be heard far away in space


[Chorus]
              Am                       
There were no screams there was no time
                    Am               
The mountain called Monkey had spoken
      Am           
There was only fire
    Am          
And then nothing


[Outro]
                    E      
Oh a little town in the USA
    F                E7 
The time has come to see
E       F           E              
There's nothing you believe you are
A7        E                    G            F 
But where were you when it all came down on me
        F         
Did you call me no
