VERSE

Chord diagramE minorEm                  Chord diagramD MajorD
Ten years ago on Hogsback Mountain

      Chord diagramC majorC                      Chord diagramD MajorD
The flames was roaring like a lion in a fountain

     Chord diagramE minorEm                      Chord diagramD MajorD
The trees were burning, too many to count 'em

      Chord diagramC majorC
And trapped in the middle

      Chord diagramD MajorD                                Chord diagramE minorEm   Chord diagramD MajorD   Chord diagramE minorEm Chord diagramF# minorF#m
With fire all around him, was a man...

Chord diagramE minorEm                       Chord diagramD MajorD
Flanagan and I was out camping that day

      Chord diagramC majorC                     Chord diagramD MajorD
We started our fire with turpentine and hay

     Chord diagramE minorEm                    Chord diagramD MajorD
The wind was howlin' so I guess we should have known

           Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramD MajorD                  Chord diagramE minorEm   Chord diagramD MajorD  Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramF# minorF#m
That the flames was gonna get blown across the land

CHORUS

Chord diagramG+G                         Chord diagramD MajorD
Wake up, Flanagan, the bartender's comin'

                  Chord diagramA minorAm
He says there's someone here

             Chord diagramC majorC
Who means to do us harm

Chord diagramG+G                         Chord diagramD MajorD                      Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramD MajorD  Chord diagramG+G
Sound the alarm, it's the man with the skeleton arms

VERSE

Two days later when the fire died out
Flanagan and I went rootin' about
For to find a little dinner of roasted critter,
Blackened blackbird eggs and pine-cone fritters

That was how we happened on the badly burned man
He was yelpin' for help and so we each grabbed a hand
Thinking we'd be heroes if we dragged him back home,
We pulled, but pulled the flesh right offa the bone

CHORUS

Chord diagramG+G                         Chord diagramD MajorD
Wake up, Flanagan, the bartender's comin'

                  Chord diagramA minorAm

             Chord diagramC majorC
Who means to do us harm

Chord diagramG+G                         Chord diagramD MajorD                      Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramD MajorD  Chord diagramG+G
Sound the alarm, it's the man with the skeleton arms

BRIDGE
(same chords as verse)

Now of all the mad people, that guy was the maddest
He pulled a bone across his throat
And pointed right at us
Ten years on the lam from that skeletal man
He's sworn his revenge, we've heard his sinister plan:

He'll string us up by our hands and lift us over a vat
And dip us up to our elbows in boiling fat
It's like an eye for an eye, but ninety-nine times worse
He wants to do to us what we did to him,
Except in reverse...

CHORUS
