[Intro] G D7 C [Pre-verse]
G A C G
Ooooh
[Verse]
G               D7
His body is the Gelson's

     C               G
Her soul, the fallen star

                        D7
At midnight twice a week she comes, she leaves

            C               G
And no one's hassled her so far

                         D7       C                   G
The courters have arrived in nail polish, in tailored slacks

                        D7
Reformed past, all recognition

   C                          G
Resplendent in donor class panache

       Am               D7
It's a scheme to enrich assholes

         G                   C
What the godhead had in mind

        Am                D7
When he hid here such revelations

D7
As only singers could describe
[Chorus]
C
Mahashmashana

       Am
All is silent

           G              C
And in thе next universal dawn

             Am                   D7
Won't have to do thе corpse dance, do the corpse dance

                               G
Do the corpse dance with these arms
[Pre-verse]
G A C G
Ooooh
[Verse]
G                           D7
The one about the country's boyfriend

        C                     G
That he never ever would live down

                             D7
Must not have made it to the angels

               C                 G
Who passed the holy Roman noses 'round

                            D7
His pale bullets found your bloodline

     C                G
In a midnight blue cayenne

                              D7
She is patient, the act of creation

        C                   G
May one day produce a happy man

Am            D7
Shaken like a pawl fly

  G               C
Obscene as a lick

           Am                  D7
Love's the birthright of young people

D7
And she ain't leaving without his
[Chorus]
C
Mahashmashana

       Am
All is silent now

           G              C
And in thе next universal dawn

             Am                   D7
Won't have to do thе corpse dance, do the corpse dance

                               G
Do the corpse dance with these arms
[Pre-verse]
G A C G
Ooooh
[Verse]
G               D7
He spoke into a hot mic

   C           G
He sang like a bird

                       D7
He hadn't had a single drink yet

              C               G
There's no mistaking what you heard

                          D7
A perfect lie can live forever

    C                   G
The truth don't fare as well

                             D7
It isn't perched on lips mid-laughter

             C                 G
It ain't the kind of thing you tell

                Am          D7
Like there's no baby in the king cake

                 C            G
Like there's no figure on the cross

          Am              D7
They have gone the way of all flesh

D7
And what was found is lost
[Outro]
        C           Am
Yes, it is. Yes, it is

        G           C
Yes, it is. Yes, it is

        C           Am
Yes, it is. Yes, it is

        G           C
Yes, it is. Yes, it is
