#1.
E    D            Bm           E     B
Just got off from work, it was awful late.
E        Bm       E        Bm
I had to pass the cemetery gate.
    A       Em            A        Em
The sky was dark, and the moon was bright.
E        Bm         E          B
It was a very, very cold, cold night.
B7                      A          E
I never thought I could see such a sight..
            B                    E
a poor soul doing the Dead Man's Stroll.
#2.
E            Bm       E        Bm
Dressed in a top hat, cane and all.
E              Bm         E          B
Must have been going to a dead man's ball.
B7                        A         E
May not believe it but it has to be told..
            B              A     E
a poor soul doing the Dead Man's Stroll.
INTERLUDE:(With insane laughter in background.)
...E B E..Bm E B..E B A..E B..
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-
ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-
ha-ha-ha!!!!!!)
#3.
E          B            E         B
Nodded his head, with a finger he led.
E        Bm             E          B
I wasn't sure there was nothing to dread.
A           Em          A         E             Bm
We went on, slowly, for miles and miles, just before I 
E   B                              A     E
realized..the time had passed when I was cold.
E         B                    E
I was now doing the Dead Man's Stroll.
OUTRO:
E       Bm      E       B
Doo-dee-doo-dee-doo-dee-doo..(Bong!)
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
