[Verse 1]
       A
I was working all night in my office, when a man I had recently killed

          D                                        E
called me up from a phone near my building, so I looked out the window at him

            F#                                  Bm       A       D     E
he had the same obsequious manner that was the reason I had him killed

       C#                F#m        E       B             E
so to calm my nerves I sang this song to him over the phone:
[Chorus]
       A
Turn around, turn around - there's a thing there that can be found

       A            A7             A6                  A
turn around, turn around - it's a human skull on the ground

        D          Dm             A
human skull on the ground - turn around
[Verse 2]
      A
I was out by myself in the graveyard, I was doing an interpretive dance

       D                                E
when I felt something heavy and pointed strike me in the back of my neck

             F#                                     Bm           A    D      E
and then the ghost of my dance instructor pushed me down into an open grave

       C#                   F#m      E    B                       E
and as dirt rained down she played a xylo-phone, and sang me this song:
[Chorus]
       A
Turn around, turn around - there's a thing there that can be found

       A            A7             A6                  A
turn around, turn around - it's a human skull on the ground

        D          Dm             A
human skull on the ground - turn around
[Verse 3]
        A
We were waving our arms out the window of a fast-moving passenger train

       D                                      E
acting in an irresponsible fashion, until the engineer whose back had been turned,

           F#                                            Bm            A    D       E
and who we thought would find us highly amusing, quickly swivelled his head around

        C#               F#m         E       B                  E
and his face which was a paper-white mask of evil, sang us this song:
[Chorus]
       A
Turn around, turn around - there's a thing there that can be found

       A            A7             A6                  A
turn around, turn around - it's a human skull on the ground

        D          Dm             A
human skull on the ground - turn around
