[Verse 1]
Em            Edim         B7      Em
Have you ever heard of the Tithing Man?
   Em       Edim            B7      Em
If nobody's told you yet, I think I can
   A7
He lurks out there between the trees
     Am7                  D7
From darkest shadows, out he creeps
    B7
His lantern glintin' on sharpened teeth
   Em           Edim      C7           B7
Is probably the very last thing you'll see


[Verse 2]
Em              Edim                B7      Em
Let me tell you something 'bout the Tithing Man
      Em        Edim       B7       Em
He'll make your goosebumps flap and dance
       A7
You'll hear him wail like a clarinet
     Am7                    D7
Your bones will rattle like castanets
       B7
You'll beg and weep like violins
    Em             Edim   C7 B7
But it'll all just end in violence


[Verse 3]
Em         Edim          C7      B7
Run if you happen on the Tithing Man
Em               Edim           B7      Em
Tithed from that lantеrn in his crooked hand
A7
If he sees you, find a tree
Am7             D7
Whisper to it, "Lеave me be"
B7
Whisper high and whisper low
       Em   Edim          C7        B7
'Cause only magic's gonna save your soul
