_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [A#m] _ _ _ _ [D] Hey!
[Gm] Give me a listen, you corpses of cheer, [Gm] at least those of you who still [D] got an ear.
[Gm] I'll tell you [A#] a story, [Cm] make a skeleton [C#] cry, [D] of our own _ jubiliciously lovely corn [A#m] fry.
_ Day, day, oh [G] yesterday, [A#m] oh dear, oh dear, it's [F] okay.
[F#] You might [F] try to hide, [F#] and you
might [F] try to hide, but you'll end up the remains of [A#] the day.
_ [A] There _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[A#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[F#m] was a beauty known for [C#] miles around, [F#m] when a mysterious _ [D] stranger came [C#] to town.
[Bm] He
was plenty [F#m] good looking, [C#] down on his cash, and our poor little baby, she fell hard and
fast, [F#m] when her daddy said no, [Bm] she just [C] couldn't cope, [C#] so her lovers came up with a plan to
[E] elope.
[Am] Day, day, [G#] oh yesterday, _
[Am] oh dear, oh dear, [E] it's okay.
[F] You might try to hide, and
you might [E] try to hide, but you'll end up the [Am] remains of the day.
_ _ [G#] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [G#] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[A#m] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [A#m] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [F] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Fm] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [C#] _ _ [B] _ _
[D] _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [D#] _ _ [C#m] Oh, that's [C#m] nice.
_ _ _ [G#] Yeah!
[A#] So they conjured up a plan to meet late at [A#m] night.
They told [G#] that
a soul [F#] kept the whole thing [B] tight.
Now her mother's [E] wedding dress [F] fit like a [Bm] glove.
You
don't need much [F] when you're really in love, except [A#] for a few things, [G] or so I'm told, like
the family [G#] jewels and the [G] satchel of gold.
[D#] Then, next to the [Am] graveyard by the old oak
tree, on a [C#m] dark foggy night at a quarter to three, she was ready to go, but where [C] was _ _
[G#] _ she?
And [E] then, _ [D] she [D#] waited.
And then, there in the [Dm] shadows, [C] was a little [G#m] man.
And then,
a little heartbeat [G#] so loud.
[G] And then, _ [Gm] and then baby, _ [G] everything went [F#] _
black.
[Gm] Now when
she opened her eyes, she was [D] dead as [Gm] dust.
Her jewels were [A#] missing and her heart [D] was
bust.
[Gm] So she made a vow, [Cm] lying under [C#] that tree, [Gm] that she'd wait for her true [Cm] love to
come [C#] to the crib.
[Gm] Always waiting for someone [Cm] to ask [C#] for her hand.
[Gm] Looking out [A#] of the blue
[Cm] comes this [C#] groovy young [D] man, who vowed forever to be by her side.
And that's the story of our [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ family. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [G] _ _ [F#] _ _ [G] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
