Am
Are you ready? (yeah!)
Am                                   E
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)
                          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)


[Verse 2]
      E         Am
This old new sensation
  Am
Nuther stone cold hit
  Am
Comin' up out the radio
      E                           Am
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
     E                                       Am
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
      Am                        E
We gon' see if you can't sing along...


[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
(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)
