[Intro] Em Em Em6 A G Em Em6 A G Em Em6 A G F [Verse 1]
Em
There in the shadows, looks like a hand

Em
Without its owner to give it a command

A
It's got a purpose but I don't know what it is

G               G        G/F#
I'm in trouble, yo ho ho ho ho

Em7
There in the streets looks like a man

Em7
But something's wrong that I don't understand

A7
His eyes are open but he don't see a thing

Em                       G
His skin is peeling off, his bones are sticking out

A
I'm getting scared
[Chorus]
Em7                                      Em
Oh, my god, is it living? Is it dead or alive?

Em7                                    Em
Is it dead? Is it dead? Is it dead or alive?
[Verse 2]
Em
Hiding in the cupboards like little mice

Em
Hiding in the refrigerator, that isn't nice now

A
It's not an animal, it don't have legs

G                       G        G/F#
No one else can see it, yo ho ho ho

Em7
It moves so fast, corner of my eye

Em7
Look again it's gone, it's hiding

A7
Won't somebody help me, doesn't anybody care?

Em                    G
It waits so patiently for me to lose my guard

A
I'm getting scared
[Chorus]
Em7                                      Em
Oh, my god, is it living? Is it dead or alive?

Em7                                    Em
Is it dead? Is it dead? Is it dead or alive?
[Instrumental 1] Em Em6 A G Em Em6 A G Em Em6 A G F [Interlude] N.C I remember there was a time when dead and buried meant just that Underneath the cold dark ground things stay put Oh, them bones, they make them bodies walk Them bones, them bones, if they could only talk [Instrumental 2] Em A7 Em G A7 [Chorus]
Em7                                      Em
Oh, my god, is it living? Is it dead or alive?

Em7                                    Em
Is it dead? Is it dead? Is it dead or alive?
