Monster Mash chords by Bobby Pickett

Monster Mash
Bobby Pickett

   G
I was working in the lab late one night
    Em
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
    Am7
For my monster from his slab began to rise
  D
And suddenly to my surprise

      G
[He did the mash]    He did the monster mash
       Em
[The monster mash]   It was a graveyard smash
      C
[He did the mash]    It caught on in a flash
      D
[He did the mash]    He did the monster mash

    G
From my laboratory in the castle east
    Em
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
  Am7
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
  D
To get a jolt from my electrodes

       G
[They did the mash]   They did the monster mash
       Em
[The monster mash]   It was a graveyard smash
       C
[They did the mash]   It caught on in a flash
       D
[They did the mash]   They did the monster mash

  C              D
The zombies were having fun, the party had just begun
  C             D [tacet]
The guests included Wolf Man, Dracula and his son

  G
The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Em
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
  Am7
The Coffin-Bangers were about to arrive
      D
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"

         G
[They played the mash] They played the monster mash
       Em
[The monster mash]   It was a graveyard smash
         C
[They played the mash] It caught on in a flash
         D
[They played the mash] They played the monster mash

G
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Em
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
  Am7
He opened the lid and shook his fist and said
D [tacet]
  "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"

       G
[It's now the mash]   It's now the monster mash
       Em
[The monster mash]   And it's a graveyard smash
       C
[It's now the mash]   It's caught on in a flash
       D
[It's now the mash]   It's now the monster mash

  G
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
    Em
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
  Am7
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
     D [tacet]
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you

       G
[Then you can mash]   Then you can monster mash
       Em
[The monster mash]   And do my graveyard smash
       C
[Then you can mash]   You'll catch on in a flash
       D
[Then you can mash]   Then you can monster mash
