I'll tattle a tale that is terribly true. C Am Stated out as a rumor, but suddenly grew. D And it deals with a man, and a horse, and a ring. C Am G So settle on in and our song we shall sing.

Verse1:
D It happened one day in a ring by a farm C Am Some that tragically brought us much harm D How could a place abundant with charm C Am D Create such a beast with a spear for an arm.
D On death and destruction is what you will get C Am When he's coming for you and in your kilt you will wet. D And he's big and he's strong and its quite plain to see. C Am D That this is the Tale of the Nuckelavee.
Chorus:
A Nuckelavee! Oh Nuckelavee Em G Em G You're big and evil and heinous A Who could it be who set you free? Em G Em D He really must be an anus.
Verse2:
D Oh Nuckelavee it's easy to see C Am the terror you leave is raining on me. D The village is burned and the taverns are missed C Am D and the beer is all gone and the elders are pissed.
D And if they ever should find the fool C Am We'll hang him upside down by his tool D And spin him around until he gets sick C C D Ooh! Aah! Oh, that should do the trick.
Chorus:
A Nuckelavee! Oh Nuckelavee Em G Em G The terror you offer is high class A Who could it be who set you free? Em G Em G He really must be a dumbass.
A Nuckelavee! Oh Nuckelavee Em G Em G The horror you furnish is widespread A Who could it be who set you free? Em G Em D He really must be an ox-head.

Verse3:
D Now everyone knows no blood should spill C Am In the sacred ring by the farm on the hill. D And if this ever happens the Death you should fear C Am D He'll kick in your nuts and he'll serve them with beer.
D So one final thought before I depart, C Am And this my friends comes straight from the heart. D We'd all be fine if not for that bell C Am D And that horse killing wanker that opened up hell.
Chorus:
A Nuckelavee! Oh Nuckelavee Em G Em G We cannot win we must admit A Who could it be who set you free? G Em G Em He really must be a dimwit.
A Nuckelavee! Oh Nuckelavee Em G Em G You're big and evil and heinous A Who could it be who set you free? Em G Em D He really must be an anus
