The Man With The Skeleton Arms

(início)

INTRO/CHORUS
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                      G    D    G
Sound the alarm, it's the man with the skeleton arms
VERSE
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
And trapped in the middle
      D                                Em   D   Em F#m
With 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                  Em   D  Em  F#m
That the flames was gonna get blown across the land
CHORUS
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                      G   D  G
Sound the alarm, it's the man with the skeleton arms
VERSE
Two days later when the fire died out
Flanagan and I went rootin' about
For to find a little dinner of roasted critter,
Blackened blackbird eggs and pine-cone fritters
That was how we happened on the badly burned man
He was yelpin' for help and so we each grabbed a hand
Thinking we'd be heroes if we dragged him back home,
We pulled, but pulled the flesh right offa the bone
CHORUS
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                      G   D  G
Sound the alarm, it's the man with the skeleton arms
BRIDGE
(same chords as verse)
Now of all the mad people, that guy was the maddest
He pulled a bone across his throat
And pointed right at us
Ten years on the lam from that skeletal man
He's sworn his revenge, we've heard his sinister plan:
He'll string us up by our hands and lift us over a vat
And dip us up to our elbows in boiling fat
It's like an eye for an eye, but ninety-nine times worse
He wants to do to us what we did to him,
Except in reverse...
CHORUS
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                      G   D  G
Sound the alarm, it's the man with the skeleton arms
OUTRO/CHORUS
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                     Am  G   C   D  Em
Sound the alarm, it's the man with the skeleton arms
