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