Verse 1:
G     D
There is a dead
Em  D
Opera star
C      D
Floating in the great
G     D
Dismal swamp
G     D
And he was wearing
Em           D
A dress with watermelons on it
    C        D
And he stuffed his bra
       C
With spanish moss

Verse 2:
G    D
Black tupelo
Em           D
Where all the planets neon goes to die
C       D
The air hangs thick
   G        D
With dead electricity
G        D
He was chased by ball lightning
Em       D
Went crazy from sleeping under the moonlight
C         D
And the soul of a unbaptised infant
C
He swims the waters upsetting boats

Chorus:
G  D
Dead opera star
Em  D
Dead opera star
G  D
Dead opera star
Am       Bm      C
Floating in the great dismal swamp
