Am
Are you ready? (yeah!)
AmE
I got a brand new dance here for you
AmE
This one, it's called, the Zombie (Arghhh!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
W-when you hear that zombie rockin' slow
AmEAm
Till the break o' dawn in the Congo
Am
Ain't gonna lay to rest, till the mornin' light
AmEAm
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)
AmEAm
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]
EAm
This old new sensation
Am
Nuther stone cold hit
Am
Comin' up out the radio
EAm
It go so slow, it don't never quit
E
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Am
Man, you can't fight it, don't even try
Am
Left an' right, they's goin' in drag-step time
EAm
This old repetition make 'em lose their mind
E
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
E
So children
Am
Direct your feet right way on 'long
E
That all infectious beat, c'mon
E
Everyone you know's out in the street
AmE
We gon' see if you can't sing along...
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
W-when you hear that zombie rockin' slow
AmEAm
Till the break o' dawn in the Congo
Am
Ain't gonna lay to rest, till the mornin' light
AmEAm
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)
AmEAm
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 3]
Am
I grown so 'fraid of the man in the street
AmE
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
AmEAm
I wanna rid my head of all that nasty, nigglin' junk
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
W-when you hear that zombie rockin' slow
AmEAm
Till the break o' dawn in the Congo
Am
Ain't gonna lay to rest, till the mornin' light
AmEAm
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)
AmEAm
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)
