Chords

[Intro] Am F Am E Am F Am E Am [Verse 1]
     Am              F
Dont ever laugh as a hearse goes by

    Am             E
For you may be the next to die

     Am               F
They wrap you up in a big white sheet

Am                  E       Am
From your head down to your feet
[Verse 2]
     Am           F
They put you in a big black box

    Am                E
And cover you up with dirt and rocks

    Am                 F
And all goes well for about a week

    Am                 E       Am
And then your coffin begins to leak
[Verse 3]
        Am                  F
And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out

    Am                  E
The worms play pinochle on your snout

     Am                  F
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose

     Am              E          Am
They eat the jelly between your toes
[Chorus 1]
  F                   Am
A big green worm with rolling eyes

E                          Am
Crawls in your stomach and out your eyes

     F               Am
Your stomach turns a slimy green

    E                   Am
And puss comes out like whipping cream

    F              Am
You spread it on a slice of bread

    E                   Am
And that's what you eat when you’re dead
[Verse 4]
        Am                      F
And the worms crawl out and the worms crawl in

    Am                      E
The worms that crawl in are lean and thin

    Am                      F
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout

     Am                    E          Am
Your eyes fall in and your hair falls out
[Bridge]
     F                    E         Am
Your brain comes tumbling down your snout
[Verse 4]
        Am                  F
And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out

     Am                  E
They crawl all over your dirty snout

     Am                      F
Your chest caves in and your eyes pop out

     Am             E     Am
Your brain turns to sauerkraut
[Chorus 2]
       F                       Am
They invite their friends, and their friends too

     E                Am
They all come down to chew on you

    F               Am
And this is what it is to die

  E              Am
I hope you had a nice goodbye
[Outro]
        Am              F
Did you ever think as a hearse goes by

     Am               E
That you might be the next to die

         Am                     F
And your eyes fall out and your teeth decay

    Am                   E          Am
And that is the end of a perfect... day
