D
The old man's in the kitchen

D
He's a smile short of laughing

Bm              A
And the radio's a-beaming

         G*             D
From the stars that are coughing up

D
The change in his pockets

        D
And the shrug in his shoulders

        Bm             A
And the glove from his fingers

        G*          D
And the love that I hold for him
[Chorus]
G                  D                 A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead

            D
Raising the dead

G                  D                 A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead

            G        G
Raising the dead
[Verse 2]
D
And those old songs are twitching

D
With the knees that are pitching

Bm                   A
And the fair world's a-grinning

        G*         D
And the old God is spinning

        D
To the place where he lived

        D
And the room that he died in

          Bm        A             G*         D
There's a new song playing on the radio that night
[Chorus]
G                  D                 A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead

            D
Raising the dead

G                  D                 A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead

Raising the dead
[Verse 3]
D                D
He operates on a low frequency

   Bm            A          G*
To take down the pillars of our society

D                       D
Walking out of sadness, walking out of grief

Bm             A            G*             D
Walking out of badness and walking like a thief
[Chorus]
G                  D                 A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead

Raising the dead

G                  D                 A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead

            G        G
Raising the dead
[Verse 4]
D
I collaborate with spirit

D                                Bm
I helped it find its way back to me

           A         G*          D
Where I've been with myself on my way

D                               D
On my way to the old man in the kitchen on my way

       Bm           A       G*                 D
To the fiery broken-hearted people who all who say
