[Verse 1]
Cm G
I spend most of my days, sitting in a tiny room alone
Cm
It’s like a grave without a headstone
G
Mother’s worried, that I'm not making any new friends
Ab
But she don't know that friends just play pretends
G
In the graveyard is where I drink in peace
Eb Cm
I welcome their disease
Ab G
The dead are better at keeping me company
Eb
So I think it’s time for them to come home with me
[Chorus]
Cm G
Dig up these corpses lying six feet underground
Ab Eb G
I know one day I’m gonna let my family down
Cm G
Dig up these corpses lying, six feet deep
Ab Eb G
I know the dead won’t talk about me when I sleep
[Interlude]
Cm G G7
[Verse 2]
Cm G
Old miller’s worried, his graveyard has been robbed and now it’s empty
Ab G
Well they’re not gone, they've gone home with me
Cm
We’re having a dinner party, eating pork and beans
G Ab G
It’s time to fill the night, with so much glee
Ab G
You can call me a freak of nature all you want
Eb Cm
Cause this is who I am
Ab G
I’d rather be diverse than a cog in the machine
Eb
So please fuck off while you can, meanwhile, I’ll be
[Chorus]
Cm G
Digging up these corpses lying six feet underground
Ab Eb G
I know one day I’m gonna let my family down
Cm G
Dig up those corpses lying, six feet deep
Ab Eb G Ab
I know the dead won’t talk about me when I sleep
[Verse 3]
G Ab
You know you’re only wasting your time
Eb A# Ab
Cause I got death stuck on my mind
G Ab
It's better to be dead, than alive
Eb A# Cm
Cause I’ve turned my back on mankind
[Instrumental]
Cm G Ab Eb A#
Cm G Gm C
[Bridge]
Fm
I cheat on my wives, I play with the dead
G
No wonder everyone has a gun aimed at my head
Fm
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
Ab Eb A#
Cause I’d like to see them suffer, it always makes me smile
Ab Eb G
So I think I’m gonna stay and play with corpses for a while
Ab Eb A#
They’ll lock me up for hundred years, with no one to play
Ab Eb A#
Staying here forever while my body slowly rots away
[Outro]
Cm N.C. G N.C.
No more corpses will be dug up today
Ab N.C.
Time for me to close my eyes
Eb N.C. G N.C.
And lay 'til I decay
Cm N.C. G N.C.
I'll leave a legacy when I'm gone
Ab N.C.
The memories will fade
Eb N.C. G N.C. Cm
But at least I'll have this song
