intro:
Am Am E Am
   
Chorus riff:
    Am         Dm           E           Am

  Dm                   Am
What evil star burns bright my old flame
     E                 Am
And wilted my rose of Jericho
       Dm                           Am
Whose glare killed the prayer last parted from her lips
     E                 Am
And lit the path to churchyards untold?
     Dm                           Am
The pitter and the patter of her dance once whirled away
     E                            Am
The eve like a dream of youthful bloom
    Dm                             Am
But now the iron clatter of my godforsaken woe
  E                               Am
Echoes ancient tones of shackled doom

 G                    Am
I’ll ride this Agony Wagon
  G                      Am
Forever to Heaven or to Hell
  G                  Am
I’ll ride this agony wagon
  G                                 E 
My bones are damned to roam these rusty rails

       - repeat chorus -

 Dm                          Am
What unholy haint rakes the Devil’s lyre
      E                             Am
And dumbs the din of joybells in my soul
 Dm                           Am
Who in silent gloom arrives snapping thicket underfoot
      E                                Am
In moonless mist to light my carriage coals?
    Dm                                Am
So into the shady dank of St. Jude’s garden stairs
 E                               Am
East of the sun and west of the moon
 Dm                                      Am
Where her secret crypt of nightshade is shut inside his mind
 E                                  Am
Locked tighter than a toddler in a tomb.

 G                     Am
I’ll ride this Agony Wagon
  G                      Am
Forever to Heaven or to Hell
 G                     Am
I’ll ride this agony wagon
 G                                       E
My bones are damned to roam these rusty rails
