Dead Opera Star

G          D
There is a dead
Em    D
Opera star
C           D
Floating in the great
G          D
Dismal swamp
G          D
And he was wearing
Em                     D
A dress with watermelons on it
       C               D
And he stuffed his bra
             C
With spanish moss

[Chorus]
G    D
Dead opera star
Em   C
Dead opera star
G    D
Dead opera star
Am              Bm           C
Floating in the great dismal swamp

[Verse 2]
G       D
Black tupelo
Em                     D
Where all the planets neon goes to die
C             D
The air hangs thick
     G                D
With dead electricity
G                D
He was chased by ball lightning
Em              D
Went crazy from sleeping under the moonlight
C                 D
And the soul of a unbaptised infant
C
He swims the waters upsetting boats

[Chorus]
G    D
Dead opera star
Em   C
Dead opera star
G    D
Dead opera star
Am              Bm           C
Floating in the great dismal swamp
