Are you ready? (yeah!)

I got a brand new dance here for you
Am E
This one, it's called, the Zombie (Arghhh!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
W-when you hear that zombie rockin' slow
Am E Am
Till the break o' dawn in the Congo
Am
Ain't gonna lay to rest, till the mornin' light
Am E Am
Gonna raise some sand in the dead o' night
[Chorus]
Am
(To the left, to the right)

M-mama hear them mumblin' low
E
(Till the dawn breakin' light)
Am E Am
They go shufflin', shufflin', across the floor, (ooh ooh ooh)
Am
(In the dead of the night)
E
Can you hear the little children cry?
E
(Cryin' "Mama, mama") Watchout!
Am
(Arghh!) Zombie's a terrible fright
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
[Verse 2]

This old new sensation

Nuther stone cold hit

Comin' up out the radio

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Am
Man, you can't fight it, don't even try

E Am
This old repetition make 'em lose their mind
E
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

Direct your feet right way on 'long

Everyone you know's out in the street
Am E
We gon' see if you can't sing along...
[Pre-Chorus]

Gonna raise some sand in the dead o' night
[Chorus]

They go shufflin', shufflin', across the floor, (ooh ooh ooh)

Am
(Arghh!) Zombie's a terrible fright
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
[Verse 3]
Am
I grown so 'fraid of the man in the street
Am E
With a finger on the pulse, look dead on his feet
Am
Way he say, "All I wanna do is eat, an eat.."
E
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Am
I close my eyes
Am
But why can I not rest?
E
Cause the fear of death that do not die
Am
Unsettle me where I lie
E
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Am
That's why I bring 'em my best ol' slow-footed jump
E
Here rollin' with the things in the night go bump
Am E Am
I wanna rid my head of all that nasty, nigglin' junk
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
W-when you hear that zombie rockin' slow
Am E Am
Till the break o' dawn in the Congo
Am
Ain't gonna lay to rest, till the mornin' light
Am E Am
Gonna raise some sand in the dead o' night
[Chorus]
Am
(To the left, to the right)
E
M-mama hear them mumblin' low
E
(Till the dawn breakin' light)
Am E Am
They go shufflin', shufflin', across the floor, (ooh ooh ooh)
Am
(In the dead of the night)
E
Can you hear the little children cry?
E
(Cryin' "Mama, mama") Watchout!
Am
(Arghh!) Zombie's a terrible fright
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
