The Mountain Goats – The Mummys Hand (Ukulele)

        D                 Bm
If you prick us, don't it sting

        G                D
if you kick us, won't it hurt

        G                   D       G                           A
I am wrapped in scraps of linen and pieces of people's old shirts

    D             Bm    G               D
But way way underneath all these sticky bands

G               D     G                 A
I hold all my dreams right here in my hands

        Bm             D
I will rise from the tomb

        Em                      G
Like an infant emerging from the womb

        D                Bm     G               D
I spent several thousand years down here all alone

G          D       G                    A
No way to stem the lonely old ache in my bones

D                    Bm     G                   D
Say the spell three times, crank up the special effects

           G               D            G               A
I'm gonna cast off all my bandages and see what happens next

        Bm         D
I will rise fully formed

        Em              G
Like an infant, freshly born

          G            D   C              G
I've been trapped too long underneath the ground

G               D                    G                  C
In the hollow darkness, but ain't no grave gonna hold my body down

Bm              D
I will push my hand up through the earth

           Em                      G            A
and I will rise like the cry of an infant at its birth
