Chords with lyrics
This is my first attempt at tabbing this song, so there will be errors; this is just how
I learned to play it. I couldn’t find any detailed lessons, just the chords themselves.
I had to tab it by myself.Capo: None required, but play it with whatever
you feel comfortable with. Also, if
you transpose it up or down
just note that it changes
only the chord names. You must figure out the tabbed notes for yourself.
Before we begin, this is an arpeggiated song. You can strum it if you want (the strum pattern
is just two down
strokes for Am, one for F, one for E MajorE) but I find it much better if you arpeggiate the chords.
Here is a basic tab of the song. Once you reach the end, loop back to the beginning.

Verse:
A minorAm
Did you ever think as a hearse goes by
FF E MajorE
You might be the one to die?
A minorAm
They wrap you up in a bloody sheet
FF E MajorE
Cover you up for about six weeks.
A minorAm
They put you in a painted box
FF E MajorE
Seal it tight with girders and locks
A minorAm
All goes well for maybe a week
FF E MajorE
Then the parasites start to eat.
Chorus:
A minorAm
The bugs crawl in the bugs crawl out
FF E MajorE
They play poker on your snout
A minorAm
They’ll chew through your eyes, they’ll bite your nose
FF E MajorE
They’ll eat the fungus between your toes.
Bridge:
A minorAm
A augmentedA purple fly with pulsating wings
FF E MajorE
Flies in your stomach and out your thing
A minorAm
Try as you might your stomach explodes
FF E MajorE
Blood comes out like whipping cream.
Chorus:
A minorAm
The bugs come out and some worms come in
FF E MajorE
Your intestines boil and your blood starts to thin
A minorAm
All the worms crawl out in a mass
FF E MajorE
Your eyes fall out and your skin turns black.
