Bit after quiet part
Chorus (fade out)
You know you saw them, but no one ever listens,
They'll be long gone by the time the sun has risen,
You feel 'em lurking, hear 'em howling in the shadows,
Wreaking havoc on your perfect world
They are the tricking trolls
They got the bell that tolls
Flash at the edge of your sight
They only come out at night [x4]
The shadows breathe with a venom like no other,
A silent evil where there shouln't be another, no no,
I feel 'em lurking, hear 'em howling in the shadows,
Wreaking havoc on your perfect world
They are the tricking trolls
They got the bell that tolls
Flash at the edge of your sight
They only come out at night [x7]
Don't know what's at stake,
I think they're right beside me,
I gotta stay awake,
And keep them all from biting
They only come out at night
They only come out at night
They only come out at night
They only come out at night

[6] artificial (pinch) harmonic at 6th fret
Lots of artificial harmonics in the song; I find them easier to
play on the bridge pickup with slightly thicker strings, but
then everyone probably has their own method. Good luck!

Back to Chorus, which is repeated with some random soloing
in A minor that's too hard to make out, the whole thing fades
You know you saw them, but no one ever listens,
They'll be long gone by the time the sun has risen,
You feel 'em lurking, hear 'em howling in the shadows,
Wreaking havoc on your perfect world
They are the tricking trolls
They got the bell that tolls
Flash at the edge of your sight
They only come out at night [x4]
The shadows breathe with a venom like no other,
A silent evil where there shouln't be another, no no,
I feel 'em lurking, hear 'em howling in the shadows,
Wreaking havoc on your perfect world
They are the tricking trolls
They got the bell that tolls
Flash at the edge of your sight
They only come out at night [x7]
Don't know what's at stake,
I think they're right beside me,
I gotta stay awake,
And keep them all from biting
They only come out at night
They only come out at night
They only come out at night
They only come out at night
[Repeat]
