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