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