Tom: Am
Am F Am E
Am F Am E Am
[Intro]
Am F
Dont ever laugh as a hearse goes by
Am E
Cuz someday you'll be the one to die
Am F
They wrap you up in bloody sheets
Am E Am
and drop you six feet underneath
Am F
They put you in a fancy box
Am E
And cover you up with dirt and rocks
Am F
And all goes well for just a week
Am E Am
And then your coffin springs a leak
[Chorus 1]
Am F
And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
Am E
The worms play pinochle on your snout
Am F
They eat your eyes, they eat your noes
Am E Am
And so it goes you decompose
[Verse 1]
F Am
A swarm of ants with an appetite
E Am
Chew through your scalp and feast on your spine
F Am
Your lungs fill up with rotting yeast
E Am
And puss comes out like pizza grease
F Am
You spread it on a slice of bread
E Am
And that's what you'll eat when you’re dead
[Chorus 2]
Am F
And the worms crawl out and the worms crawl in
Am E
The worms that crawl in are lean and thin
Am F
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Am E Am
Your skull caves in and your brains spill out
[Verse 2]
F Am
your veins fill up with bugs and puss
E Am
Your bones erode and shrub to dust
F Am
And for the living all is well
E Am
As you sink further into hell
[Verse 3]
F Am
As the flames rise up to drag you down
E Am
Into the fire where you will drown
F Am
Your boiling soul is stripped and splayed
E Am
By Satan's harem of decay
[Bridge]
Am E Am
But there's no need to be afraid
[Chorus 3]
Am F
And the worms crawl in, the worms chew through
Am E
Your claustrophobic pinewood tomb
Am F
The wood gives way and dirt pours through
Am E Am
And fills the room once assumed by you
[Outro]
Am F
So don't ever laugh as a hearse goes by
Am E
'Cause one day you'll be the one inside
Am F
And who's to say, or to declare
Am E Am
That you are not already in there
