[Verse 1]
F#m C#
I spend most of my days, sitting in a tiny room alone
F#m
It’s like a grave without a headstone
C#
Mother’s worried, that I'm not making any new friends
D
But she don't know that friends just play pretends
C#
In the graveyard is where I drink in peace
A F#m
I welcome their disease
D C#
The dead are better at keeping me company
A
So I think it’s time for them to come home with me
[Chorus]
F#m C#
Dig up these corpses lying six feet underground
D A C#
I know one day I’m gonna let my family down
F#m C#
Dig up these corpses lying, six feet deep
D A C#
I know the dead won’t talk about me when I sleep
[Interlude]
F#m C# C#7
[Verse 2]
F#m C#
Old miller’s worried, his graveyard has been robbed and now it’s empty
D C#
Well they’re not gone, they've gone home with me
F#m
We’re having a dinner party, eating pork and beans
C# D C#
It’s time to fill the night, with so much glee
D C#
You can call me a freak of nature all you want
A F#m
Cause this is who I am
D C#
I’d rather be diverse than a cog in the machine
A
So please fuck off while you can, meanwhile, I’ll be
[Chorus]
F#m C#
Digging up these corpses lying six feet underground
D A C#
I know one day I’m gonna let my family down
F#m C#
Dig up those corpses lying, six feet deep
D A C# D
I know the dead won’t talk about me when I sleep
[Verse 3]
C# D
You know you’re only wasting your time
A E D
Cause I got death stuck on my mind
C# D
It's better to be dead, than alive
A E F#m
Cause I’ve turned my back on mankind
[Instrumental]
F#m C# D A E
F#m C# C#m F#
[Bridge]
Bm
I cheat on my wives, I play with the dead
C#
No wonder everyone has a gun aimed at my head
Bm
They’ll send me to hell while my sins remain unpaid
C#
But if that makes them happy, then I think I’d rather stay
D A E
Cause I’d like to see them suffer, it always makes me smile
D A C#
So I think I’m gonna stay and play with corpses for a while
D A E
They’ll lock me up for hundred years, with no one to play
D A E
Staying here forever while my body slowly rots away
[Outro]
F#m N.C. C# N.C.
No more corpses will be dug up today
D N.C.
Time for me to close my eyes
A N.C. C# N.C.
And lay 'til I decay
F#m N.C. C# N.C.
I'll leave a legacy when I'm gone
D N.C.
The memories will fade
A N.C. C# N.C. F#m
But at least I'll have this song
