Verse 1:
               E              G      A      E           G  A
Those faceless spirits on the bridge out on Clear Creek
         E           G        A           E      G  A
Do you remember when disaster struck that night
           E               G         A     E        G  A
Yeah those white lines disappear without a warning
            E       G    A      E     A  C
As the unsuspecting moon to the tide

Chorus:
G        A      C       G     A  C
  One by one as they go down
G       A   C         A
  Sugar man drags you round
            E    G          A            E     G  A
Yeah one by one     they'll drag them on down

Verse 2:
Yeah the Joneses took took that last turn a bit too fast
They went spinnin off the highway to the ground
And as the water started to rise above their necks
Yeah that old man dropped his candy

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
And there were screams fading out into silence
There were blue arms reaching hands out for the sky
Turned out they found an unannounced destination
At the bottom of Clear Creek that summer night

Chorus:
G        A      C       G     A  C
  One by one as they go down
G       A   C         G      A  C
  Sugar man drags you round
       G        A  C            G     A  C
And if disaster    strikes your town
             G      A          C      A
They'll just break, that Sugar man's around
            E    G          A            E     G  A
Yeah one by one     they'll drag them on down
