[Verse 1]
Fm C
I spend most of my days, sitting in a tiny room alone
Fm
It’s like a grave without a headstone
C
Mother’s worried, that I'm not making any new friends
Db
But she don't know that friends just play pretends
C
In the graveyard is where I drink in peace
Ab Fm
I welcome their disease
Db C
The dead are better at keeping me company
Ab
So I think it’s time for them to come home with me
[Chorus]
Fm C
Dig up these corpses lying six feet underground
Db Ab C
I know one day I’m gonna let my family down
Fm C
Dig up these corpses lying, six feet deep
Db Ab C
I know the dead won’t talk about me when I sleep
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Fm C
Old miller’s worried, his graveyard has been robbed and now it’s empty
Db C
Well they’re not gone, they've gone home with me
Fm
We’re having a dinner party, eating pork and beans
C Db C
It’s time to fill the night, with so much glee
Db C
You can call me a freak of nature all you want
Ab Fm
Cause this is who I am
Db C
I’d rather be diverse than a cog in the machine
Ab
So please fuck off while you can, meanwhile, I’ll be
[Chorus]
Fm C
Digging up these corpses lying six feet underground
Db Ab C
I know one day I’m gonna let my family down
Fm C
Dig up those corpses lying, six feet deep
Db Ab C Db
I know the dead won’t talk about me when I sleep
[Verse 3]
C Db
You know you’re only wasting your time
Ab D# Db
Cause I got death stuck on my mind
C Db
It's better to be dead, than alive
Ab D# Fm
Cause I’ve turned my back on mankind
[Instrumental]

Fm C Cm F
[Bridge]
A#m
I cheat on my wives, I play with the dead
C
No wonder everyone has a gun aimed at my head
A#m
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
Db Ab D#
Cause I’d like to see them suffer, it always makes me smile
Db Ab C
So I think I’m gonna stay and play with corpses for a while
Db Ab D#
They’ll lock me up for hundred years, with no one to play
Db Ab D#
Staying here forever while my body slowly rots away
[Outro]
Fm N.C. C N.C.
No more corpses will be dug up today
Db N.C.
Time for me to close my eyes
Ab N.C. C N.C.
And lay 'til I decay
Fm N.C. C N.C.
I'll leave a legacy when I'm gone
Db N.C.
The memories will fade
Ab N.C. C N.C. Fm
But at least I'll have this song
