Chords for Skeletons on Parade - Ludo lyrics

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Behind a curtain of towering pines, the sun settling _ red,
a city hidden high in the hills comes out to honor the _ dead.
_ Families somberly [G] walk through [Ab] the town, [A] they build altars [E] and pray,
_ [F] clean the tombs [B] and clutch [C] rosaries [G] and speak [Ab] of [A] better _ days.
[Am] From the edge of [E] the [Abm] island, [C] they ferry back to [D] the shore,
they [F] _ climb under [E] their covers [F] and pray a [E] little more.
In [Am] this ancient city of [E] _ [Abm] stones, [C] they sigh and bow [D] their heads,
the [F] _ living seem rather _ [E] well_
_ dead. _ _ _
_ [A] _ [Gb] Oh _ _ _ [C] _
[A] yeah.
_ [Gm] _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Am] The sun is down, [F] the earth shakes, the [Am] wind off [Dm] howl,
and [C] I'm making moves all across the [F] park, we're stirring [Am] in the [C] dark.
_ [Dm] _ _ [E] _
[Am] The cats get squeak, [Fm] the trees wheeze, [Am] the crits all creak,
[D] and [Am] toes stubble-curt for months and months [F] in dust [E] are wiggling [Am] off their [Gb] crusts.
Whoa.
[Dm] _ _ _
_ [F] Shed your _ [Fm] shrouds, slip your fingertips [A] through the ground,
[Fm] get [C] those [A] catacombs open, [Gb] I'm hoping [Fm] you'll join us, everybody [A] come on out, [Fm] yeah. _ _
_ [Am] What a lovely, [C] lovely night, [Fm] for a [Am] drink and [Em] a parade,
[Am] we'll dance until [C] the morning light. [Ab] _ _ [Abm] Stoutly [A] _ afraid.
_ [Am] What a lovely, [C] lovely night, [F] for a drink and a [G] parade,
[E] _
we'll dance until [C] the morning light.
[B] _ _ Stoutly [Am] _ afraid.
_ _ _ Pumpkin sweet and bright, we love [Dm] rising from_
_ [Am] _
_ _ Purple sparsel, _ _ vertebrae, that's us clicking [Dm] on [Am]
parade.
I move without [Em] any muscles, [C] my skull's a [D] cavernous hall,
[Dm] tendons are [Am] made for pulling my [F] breath, I can't beat [E] them at all.
[Am] My scalp [E] and our mandibles [C] and forage [D] on our ribs,
[Fm] their prospects are looking [E] quite grim. _
_ [Am] Lord, the [Abm] marabouts of now, [Am] stand [A] still for [C] the quivering lagoon,
[A] and we're descending [F] on them now, [E] living, [Gm] we're sharing, die-faring [C] in Christ,
[Db] be waiting [C] forever to bring them [B] together, by the way, we're _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[Am] all_
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
Yuck to [Am] hate!
_ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _
_ Yuck to hate, yuckity [F] yuck, and everyone's happy to say,
[Am] heaven is having a hell of a [D] time, so's your [A] God for me.
Yuck to hate, yuckity [A] yuck, the devil is [F] happy to say,
[Am] heaven is [G] having a hell of a [Dm] time, so's your [A] God for me.
Viva Monterey, [A] a fly-star [D] color-eye,
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [E] _
[A] you big, adventuring likers, your black shirt foolish blight,
[F] love yourself from your [E] grave site. _
_ [Am] Yuck to [C] hate, yuckity [Am] yuck,
_ [C] _
_ [A] heaven is having a hell of a [D] time, so's your [A] God for me.
Yuck to [Am] hate, yuckity yuck,
_ [C] _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] my [A] skeleton's on parade. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
