This is an incredibly heart wrenching song, which is contrasted in its delivery by an
tempo (3/4 time makes it jumpy) and active percussion. The chords are nice and easy, and
let me know if you like this tab, seeing as it is my first one I�ve ever done on guitar. 
(like the one in the first line) are placed intentionally to correspond better with
lyric delivery. Enjoy!

I will hide underneath the table in the dining room,

F                 C
knees drawn to my chest.

    when the villagers come to my door,

       F                                 C        G
I will breathe shallow breaths from high up in my stomach

ah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah

Am                            Em             F
waiting for the front door to splinter,

waiting all winter.

C                      Am
    when the villagers come to my door,

        F                       C           G
I'll be all tucked away with my face to the floor and my

eyes closed.

    C                        Am
and no one knows how to keep secrets 'round here

          F                    C            G
they tell everyone everything, soon as they know.


         F                                  C
and then where is there for poor sinners to go?

Am                            Em             F
waiting for the front door to splinter,

          [ C           Am        F ] &lt;---- x4
waiting all winter.
