C#m                 A
Hold on, Holy Ghost Go on, hold me close
C#m
Better run, here we come It's the day of the dead

C#m
We come from a world of oblivion, bad dreams 
I got all I need strapped right to my hamstring
I'm not really bad, I'm just made up of bad things 
I'm really not a mad man, but the voices keep asking
A
Born with a soul that don't wanna be saved
B
Every time I look around I see what I'm feeling
C#m
Every time I die, I hope they diggin' up my grave
The undead won like the flag that I wave
A
I'm not afraid to cross on this cocaine sickness
B
I'm not afraid to die, let the good book witness
C#m
I ask and get none, no, no forgiveness
The day of the dead and you're on our hit list
So come on, you misfits!
B***h, you're on our hit list!

        [Chorus:]
        A                   B
        Hold on, Holy Ghost Go on, hold me close
        C#m
        Better run, here we come It's the day of the dead
        A                   B
        Hold on, Holy Ghost So long to the ones you know
        C#m
        Better run, here we come It's the day of the dead

C#m
This is exactly what has to be done, it happens so rarely
It's like I magically happened to be the phantom and the candlelit
It's hysterical tracking me While you gaspin' so rapidly
Why you brag on this rag while you laughin' so happily?
A
It's ok to get startled and be afraid of the dark
B
I'll just wait here to swallow your soul and tear you apart
C#m
And I've already started, there ain't no savin' your heart
This is the day of the dead, this is no day in the park
A
Here I come, here I come, down your guns and crossbows
C#m
And run, better run from the skull and crossbones
The storm has begun, yeah, it's hard to swallow
When I'm done, I ain't done, 'cause it's hell that follows
Now get ready for sorrow,
'Cause it's hell that follows

        [Chorus:]

A
When the ashes start to rise
F#m
And the moon falls from the sky
A
And 1000 candles burn into the night
C#m
When the angels softly cry
F#m
On the plains below the sky
A                                      C#m
Will 1000 souls still pray for you and I?

C#m                 E
Hold on, Holy Ghost Go on, hold me close
C#m
Better run, here we come It's the day of the dead

        [Chorus:]

C#m
Hold on, Holy Ghost
It's the day of the dead
Hold on, Holy Ghost
It's the day of the dead
Hold on, Holy Ghost
It's the day of the dead
Hold on, Holy Ghost
E        Fm
It's the day of the dead
