A5 E5 A5 E5
Behind a curtain of towering pines the sun's settling red
F5 C5 E5 G5
E5
A city hidden high in the hills comes out to honor the dead
A5 E5 A5 E5
Families somberly walk through the town they build alters and pray
F5 C5 E5 G5
E5
Clean the tombs and clutch rosaries and speak of better days
A5 E5 C5 F#5
From the edge of the island they ferry back to the shore
F5 C5 G5 E5
They climb under their covers and pray a little more
A5 E5 C5 F#5
In this ancient city of stone they sigh and bow their heads
F5 E5
The living seem rather, well...dead
A5 E5 A5 E5
The sun is down the earth shakes the wind doth howl
E5 F5 C5 E5
And I'm making moves all across the park, we're stirring in the dark
A5 E5 A5 E5
The caskets squeak, the trees wheeze, the crypts all creak
E5 F5 C5
And toes sepulchered for months in months in dust
E5
Are wiggling off their , woah
A5 E5 A5 E5
Shed your shrouds, slip your fingertips through the ground
E5 F5 C5
Get those catacombs open I'm hoping you'll join us
E5
Everybody come on out, yeah
A5 C5 F5 C5 G5
What a lovely, lovely night for a drink and a parade
A5 C5 E5
A5
We'll dance until the morning light, this town should be afraid
A5 G5 A5 G5 A5
F5 A5
Candied pumpkins, sweet egg bread, we love rising from the dead
A5 G5 A5 G5 A5
F5 A5
Carpals, tarsals, vertebrae, that's us clicking on parade
A5 E5 G5 F#5
I move without any muscles, my skull's a cavernous hall
F5 C5 G5 E5
Tendons are made for pulling my friend, I don't need them at all
A5 E5 C5 F#5
Mescal in our mandibles and porridge on our ribs
F5 E5
Their prospects are looking quite grim
A5 Ab5 A5 B5 F5 E5 F5
Ab5 A5 B5 C5 D5 C5
A5 Ab5
Board the mariposas now, set sail for the quivering light ahead
A5 Ab5 A5 B5 F5 E5 F5
We're descending on the town
The living we're scaring, nightmaring in fright
A | --7-6----7----------------------------------- |
E | ---------------3-2------3----6-5-6-----(b9)---- |
They've waited forever to bring us together we finally wake them up tonight!

Note: This is basically the whole song, sans two of the breakdowns. I will update this
soon, but I would hate to risk losing all the work I've put into this, which has
twice.
