 Bbm           Fm         C          Fm
I walked in the garden and what did I see?
      Bbm           Fm              C       Fm
Fresh blood on some feathers and an old coyote
 Bbm        Fm               C              Fm
Smiling and growling, looked straight in my eyes
      Bbm       Fm              C           Fm
Said ′ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies′


[Verse 2]
Bbm           Fm             C             Fm
Where did you come from? How long will you stay?
       Bbm     Fm          C      Fm
Like a curious cat, I kept firing away
   Bbm         Fm          C            Fm
He had a great story, that much I could tell
          Bbm       Fm         C         Fm
He said, 'I am from heaven and I am from hell'


[Verse 3]
     Bbm         Fm           C          Fm
′For decades and decades I′ve hunted and roamed
      Bbm     Fm      C           Fm
But I go incognito no shape of my own
    Bbm        Fm        C           Fm
Sometimes I am human and rather well known
    Bbm            Fm         C           Fm
Sometimes I' m the whisper on your nights alone′



[Chorus]
'I′ll say,
C       Fm                  Eb                   Db              Ab
Can you see, it's not about hope, it′s not about truth, don't be naive
   C               Fm                Eb                        Db
So come dance with me, I'll keep you safe-give you all you can take
                 Ab
I′ll make you happy′


[Verse 4]
  Bbm        Fm         C              Fm
I spun on my heal and i ran towards the street
   Bbm          Fm                C              Fm
He was so close behind me I could hear his heart beat
  Bbm             Fm              C           Fm
I turned round to face him but he took to the sky
      Bbm       Fm         C          Fm
And a dozen old blackbirds started to cry

           Bbm         Fm               C           Fm
They said, 'ask him no questions, he′ll tell you no lies'

           Bbm         Fm               C           Fm
They said, ′ask him no questions, he'll tell you no lies′
