Verse: 
            E               D           G             A 
1) There's a boy in crimson rags with a grimace and a spoon 
         E             D            A              B 
   and a little sullen girl face-up staring at the moon 
               E         D               G        C (P.M.)
   And there's no one around to hear the lonesome cries  
             D (chunk)
   Then they pass away alone into the night 

Following the same pattern: 
 2)Well you've seen the disease, suffering and decay 
   and you whisper to yourself blissfully "It's okay" 
   and you still refuse the possibility 
   That the dead are better off than we 

 3)In the end you may find there's no guiding subtle light 
   no ancestors or friends, no judge of wrong and right 
   Just eternal silence and dormancy 
   And a final everlasting peace 

PreChorus: E E D D A A  

Chorus: 
 E    B C  D        E 
 Why do we pity the dead? 

         E          B    C           D              A 
 Are you churned by emotion from the voices in your head 
 (Are you scared of the logic that swirls within your head  -> Chorus (2) ) 
 E               C                 G            D  
 Look at all the living and you'll ask yourself why 

  Chorus(1): 
       E   G  D           
    Oh why do we pity the dead? 

  Chorus(2): 
       E   G  D           C  D             E 
    Oh why do we pity the dead? Pity the dead   

  Chorus(3) 
       E   G  D                       
    Oh why do we pity the dead?  
        E   G  D            
    why do we pity the dead?  
        E   G  D        C  D             
    why do we pity the dead?  
              E 
    Pity the dead

It's a mortal wretched cacophony  - Let's go...
