Intro : Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Bm7 Dmaj7 C#m7 

Over the moors, take me to the moors 
Dmaj7    Amaj7  Dmaj7          Amaj7 

dig a shallow grave and I'll lay me down 
Dmaj7         Amaj7 Bm7          Dmaj7   C#m7 

Lesley-Anne with your pretty white beads 
Bm7    E              G#m7         G 

oh John, you'll never be a man 
   A                  Bm7 

   and you'll never see your    home... home again 
D      E                   Bm7  E     G#m7     G 

   oh Manchester, so much to answer for 
A     Bm7        D        E 

Edward, see those alluring lights? 
tonight will be your very last night. 

a woman said, "I know my son is dead 
I'll never rest my hand on his sacred head." 

Hindley wakes and Hindley says: 
"Wherever he has gone, I have gone." 

But fresh lilaced moorland fields 
Cannot hide the stolid stench of death 

Hindley wakes and Hindley says: 
"Whatever he has done, I have done." 

But this is no easy ride 
for a child cries: 

"find me...find me, nothing more 
we're on a sullen misty moor 
we may be dead and we may be gone 
but we will be right by your side 
until the day you die 
his is no easy ride. 
we will haunt you when you laugh 
yes, you could say we're a team 
you might sleep 
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM! 

Oh Manchester, so much to answer for 
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for 
Over the moor, I'm on the moor 
The child is on the moor.
