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
