Gm D
[Verse 1]
Gm D
I spend most of my days, sitting in a tiny room alone
Gm
It’s like a grave without a headstone
D
Mother’s worried, that I'm not making any new friends
Eb
But she don't know that friends just play pretends
D
In the graveyard is where I drink in peace
A# Gm
I welcome their disease
Eb D
The dead are better at keeping me company
A#
So I think it’s time for them to come home with me
[Chorus]
Gm D
Dig up these corpses lying six feet underground
Eb A# D
I know one day I’m gonna let my family down
Gm D
Dig up these corpses lying, six feet deep
Eb A# D
I know the dead won’t talk about me when I sleep
[Interlude]
Gm D D7
[Verse 2]
Gm D
Old miller’s worried, his graveyard has been robbed and now it’s empty
Eb D
Well they’re not gone, they've gone home with me
Gm
We’re having a dinner party, eating pork and beans
D Eb D
It’s time to fill the night, with so much glee
Eb D
You can call me a freak of nature all you want
A# Gm
Cause this is who I am
Eb D
I’d rather be diverse than a cog in the machine
A#
So please fuck off while you can, meanwhile, I’ll be
[Chorus]
Gm D
Digging up these corpses lying six feet underground
Eb A# D
I know one day I’m gonna let my family down
Gm D
Dig up those corpses lying, six feet deep
Eb A# D Eb
I know the dead won’t talk about me when I sleep
[Verse 3]
D Eb
You know you’re only wasting your time
A# F Eb
Cause I got death stuck on my mind
D Eb
It's better to be dead, than alive
A# F Gm
Cause I’ve turned my back on mankind
[Instrumental]
Gm D Eb A# F
Gm D Dm G
[Bridge]
Cm
I cheat on my wives, I play with the dead
D
No wonder everyone has a gun aimed at my head
Cm
They’ll send me to hell while my sins remain unpaid
D
But if that makes them happy, then I think I’d rather stay
Eb A# F
Cause I’d like to see them suffer, it always makes me smile
Eb A# D
So I think I’m gonna stay and play with corpses for a while
Eb A# F
They’ll lock me up for hundred years, with no one to play
Eb A# F
Staying here forever while my body slowly rots away
[Outro]
Gm N.C. D N.C.
No more corpses will be dug up today
Eb N.C.
Time for me to close my eyes
A# N.C. D N.C.
And lay 'til I decay
Gm N.C. D N.C.
I'll leave a legacy when I'm gone
Eb N.C.
The memories will fade
A# N.C. D N.C. Gm
But at least I'll have this song
