Am
Down    
Dm
Under the ground
Am
There's a town there    
E
I've been down there
Am                      Dm
In the middle of the lake       
E                       Am
I hold your hand, for goodness' sake


[Verse]
Am                                    Dm
When the women and the kids are asleep
Am
The walls there 
                E
And the skin of the sheep
Am                      Dm
So lock all the windows and doors       
E                       Am
The Devil's coming for you and yours


[Chorus]
Dm                      G
Love was all that it could give
C                               F
But it died so other towns could live 
Dm                              G
They don't bury bodies from the drowned
C                       F
But they drowned our little town


[Bridge]
Dm                      Am
Like a lamb to his slaughter    
Dm
Buried in water         
Am
Buried in water         
Dm
Buried in water


[Verse]
Am
When the leaves 
Dm
Go floating away
Am                      E
In the pale moonlight of day    
Am                      Dm
Iury anchors in our ghosts
E                       Am
And we can let our heartbeats go


[Chorus]  
Dm                      G
Love was all that it could give
C                               F
But it died so other towns could live 
Dm                              G
They don't bury bodies from the drowned
C                       F
But they drowned our little town


[Outro]
Dm                              Am
We're like the lambs to its slaughter   
Dm
Buried in water        
Am
Buried in water 
Dm
Buried in water
