D
The old man's in the kitchen
D
He's a smile short of laughing
Bm              A
And the radio's a-beaming
         G*             D
From the stars that are coughing up
D
The change in his pockets
        D
And the shrug in his shoulders
        Bm             A
And the glove from his fingers
        G*          D
And the love that I hold for him

[Chorus]
G                  D                 A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
            D
Raising the dead
G                  D                 A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
            G        G
Raising the dead

[Verse 2]
D
And those old songs are twitching
D
With the knees that are pitching
Bm                   A
And the fair world's a-grinning
        G*            D
And the old (audit's?) spinning
        D
To the place where he lived
        D
And the room that he died in
          Bm        A             G*         D
There's a new song playing on the radio that night

[Chorus]
G                  D                 A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
            D
Raising the dead
G                  D                 A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
            G        G
Raising the dead

[Verse 3]
D                D
He operates on a low frequency
   Bm            A          G*
To take down the pillars of our society
D                       D
Walking out of sadness, walking out of grief
Bm             A            G*             D
Walking out of gladness and walking like a thief

[Chorus]
G                  D                 A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
            D
Raising the dead
G                  D                 A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
            G        G
Raising the dead

[Verse 4]
D
I collaborate with spirit
D                                Bm
I helped it find its way back to me
           A         G*          D
Where I've bin with myself on my way
D                               D
On my way to the old man in the kitchen on my way
       Bm           A       G*                 D
To the fiery broken-hearted people who all who say

[Chorus/Outro]
G                  D                 A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
            D
Raising the dead
G                  D                 A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
            G
Raising the dead

G                  D                 A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
            D
Raising the dead
G                  D                 A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
            D       D
Raising the dead
