Raising The Dead

E


[Verse 1]
E
Your old man's in the kitchen
 E
He's a smile short of laughing
        B
And the radio's a-beaming
         A
From the stars that are coughing up
E
The change in his pockets
E
And the shrug in his shoulders
        B
And the glove from his fingers
        A                    E
And the love that I hold for him


[Chorus]
A      E                 B
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
E
Raising the dead
C#m                E                 B
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
A
Raising the dead


[Verse 2]
              E
And those old songs are twitching
E
With the knees that are pitching
             B
And the fair world's a-grinning
            A
And the old god is spinning
       E
To the place where he lived
E
And the room that he died in
              B                   A          E
There's a new song playing on the radio that night


[Chorus]
A      E                 B
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
E
Raising the dead
C#m                E                 B
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
A
Raising the dead


[Verse 3]
E
He operates on a oath preconceived
E                               B
To take down the pillars of our society
E
Walking out of sadness, walking out of grief
B                           A              E
Walking out of gladness and walking like a thief


[Chorus]
A      E                 B
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
E
Raising the dead
C#m                E                 B
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
A
Raising the dead


[Verse 4]
E
I collaborate with spirit
                                 B
I helped it find its way back to me
                                  A
Where I've been with myself on my way
E
On my way to the old man in the kitchen on my way
B                           A                  E
To the fiery broken-hearted people who all who say


[Chorus]
A      E                 B
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
E
Raising the dead
C#m                E                 B
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
A
Raising the dead
