[Verse 1]
Dm A
I spend most of my days, sitting in a tiny room alone
Dm
It’s like a grave without a headstone
A
Mother’s worried, that I'm not making any new friends
A#
But she don't know that friends just play pretends
A
In the graveyard is where I drink in peace
F Dm
I welcome their disease
A# A
The dead are better at keeping me company
F
So I think it’s time for them to come home with me
[Chorus]
Dm A
Dig up these corpses lying six feet underground
A# F A
I know one day I’m gonna let my family down
Dm A
Dig up these corpses lying, six feet deep
A# F A
I know the dead won’t talk about me when I sleep
[Interlude]
Dm A A7
[Verse 2]
Dm A
Old miller’s worried, his graveyard has been robbed and now it’s empty
A# A
Well they’re not gone, they've gone home with me
Dm
We’re having a dinner party, eating pork and beans
A A# A
It’s time to fill the night, with so much glee
A# A
You can call me a freak of nature all you want
F Dm
Cause this is who I am
A# A
I’d rather be diverse than a cog in the machine
F
So please fuck off while you can, meanwhile, I’ll be
[Chorus]
Dm A
Digging up these corpses lying six feet underground
A# F A
I know one day I’m gonna let my family down
Dm A
Dig up those corpses lying, six feet deep
A# F A A#
I know the dead won’t talk about me when I sleep
[Verse 3]
A A#
You know you’re only wasting your time
F C A#
Cause I got death stuck on my mind
A A#
It's better to be dead, than alive
F C Dm
Cause I’ve turned my back on mankind
[Instrumental]
Dm A A# F C
Dm A Am D
[Bridge]
Gm
I cheat on my wives, I play with the dead
A
No wonder everyone has a gun aimed at my head
Gm
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
A# F C
Cause I’d like to see them suffer, it always makes me smile
A# F A
So I think I’m gonna stay and play with corpses for a while
A# F C
They’ll lock me up for hundred years, with no one to play
A# F C
Staying here forever while my body slowly rots away
[Outro]
Dm N.C. A N.C.
No more corpses will be dug up today
A# N.C.
Time for me to close my eyes
F N.C. A N.C.
And lay 'til I decay
Dm N.C. A N.C.
I'll leave a legacy when I'm gone
A# N.C.
The memories will fade
F N.C. A N.C. Dm
But at least I'll have this song
