The Man With The Skeleton Arms

G                      D
Wake up, Flanagan, the bartender's 
comin'
                Am
He says there's someone here
                   C
Who means to do us harm--
G                         D
Sound the alarm, it's the man with 
the skeleton arms

Verse 1:
Em               D
Ten years ago on Hogsback Mountain
C                             D
The flames was roaring like a lion 
in a fountain
Em                      D
The trees were burning, too many to 
count 'em
C                              D 
And trapped in the middle with 
                         Em
fire all around him, was a man...

Em                     D
Flanagan and I was out camping that 
day
C                        D
We started our fire with turpentine 
and hay

Em                        D
The wind was howlin' so I guess we 
should have known
C                             D  
That the flames was gonna get 
              Em
blown across the land...

Chorus

Verse 2:
Em                      D
Two days later when the fire died 
out
C                   D
Flanagan and I went rootin' about
       Em                     
For to find a little dinner of 
 D
roasted critter,
C                   D     
Blackened blackbird eggs and 
             Em
pine-cone fritters...

Em                            
That was how we happened on the 
  D
badly burned man
       C                          
He was yelpin' for help and so we 
D
each grabbed a hand
Em                          
Thinking we'd be heroes if we 
  D
dragged him back home,
C                         D  
We pulled, but pulled the flesh 
                  Em
right offa the bone...

Chorus

Verse 3:
       Em                       D
Now of all the mad people, that guy 
was the maddest
C                                 
He pulled a bone across his throat
     D
 and pointed right at us
Em                           
Ten years on the run from that 
  D
skeletal man
C                       D        
He's sworn his revenge, we've 
                Em
heard his sinister plan...:

      Em                           
He'll string us up by our hands and
 D
 lift us over a vat
C                           D
And dip us up to our elbows in 
boiling fat
Em                               
It's like an eye for an eye, but 
D
ninety-nine times worse
C                                 
He wants to do to us what we did 
   D
to him,
          Em
Except in reverse...
