Intro: G7

The church bells they were ringing
     G7
The clouds were low and brown
    C                 C
The horses they were neighing
    D7                           G
The day Robert Palins shot me down

He rode into town on a jet black mare
                    G7
Spat and hitched her to a tree
   C
He made his way to the town saloon
     D7                         G
The day Robert Palin’s murdered me


        D7
It was also the night that
      C               G
The skeletons came to life
      G7
They came from under the ground
     G
And From All Over-

Palins grabbed the preachers daughter

And aimed his shooter at my crown
    C                   G
He cocked that crooked hammer back
        D7             G
And he brought that hammer down

Exactly!

The bones are the skeletons' money

In our world bones equal dollars
C                          G
That’s why they’re coming out tonight
    D7
To get their bones from you


       G
The skeletons will pull your hair

Up but not out, all they wants

Another chance at life
          C                          G
They’ve never seen so much food as this

Underground there’s half as much food
              G
As this the worms are their money

The bones are their dollars-

The bullet it ripped inside my chest

The clouds they did storm
    C                G
My sweet Marie she cried for me
     D             G
And then I was no more


             C
And it was also the night that
       G               D
The skeletons came to life


      G
The bones are their money so are the worms

They pull your hair up but not out

To turn into a man to
         G7
Have another chance at life
    Cm              G                 D
But if they pull it out they turn to bones
