Am Em Am Em
Behind a curtain of towering pines the sun's settling red
F C E G
E
A city hidden high in the hills comes out to honor the dead
Am Em Am Em
Families somberly walk through the town they build alters and pray
F C E G
E
Clean the tombs and clutch rosaries and speak of better days
Am E C F#m
From the edge of the island they ferry back to the shore
F C G E
They climb under their covers and pray a little more
Am E C F#m
In this ancient city of stone they sigh and bow their heads
F E
The living seem rather, well...dead
Am Em Am Em
The sun is down the earth shakes the wind doth howl
Em F C E
And I'm making moves all across the park, we're stirring in the dark
Am Em Am Em
The caskets squeak, the trees wheeze, the crypts all creak
Em F C
And toes sepulchered for months in months in dust
E
Are wiggling off their , woah
Am Em Am Em
Shed your shrouds, slip your fingertips through the ground
Em F C
Get those catacombs open I'm hoping you'll join us
E
Everybody come on out, yeah
Am C F C G
What a lovely, lovely night for a drink and a parade
Am C E
Am
We'll dance until the morning light, this town should be afraid
Am G Am G Am
F Am
Candied pumpkins, sweet egg bread, we love rising from the dead
Am G Am G Am
F Am
Carpals, tarsals, vertebrae, that's us clicking on parade
Am E G F#m
I move without any muscles, my skull's a cavernous hall
F C G E
Tendons are made for pulling my friend, I don't need them at all
Am E C F#m
Mescal in our mandibles and porridge on our ribs
F5 E5
Their prospects are looking quite grim
A5 G#5 A5 B5 F5 E5 F5
G#5 A5 B5 C5 D5 C5
A5 G#5
Board the mariposas now, set sail for the quivering light ahead
A5 G#5 A5 B5 F5 E5 F5
We're descending on the town
The living we're scaring, nightmaring in fright
A|--7-6----7-----------------------------------|
E|---------------3-2------3----6-5-6-----9-----|
They've waited forever to bring us together we finally wake them up tonight!
E|-999999-888888-77777-0-5-|
Sweet riff:

Note: This is basically the whole song, sans two of the breakdowns. I will update this
soon, but I would hate to risk losing all the work I've put into this, which has
twice.
