[Verse]
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

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

[Verse]
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:

[Chorus]
"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!

[Outro]
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.
