Dead Man Boogie

E A E
I’ve been down so long, I’m looking up at the floor,
A E
I’ve been down so long, I’m looking up at the floor,
B7 A E B7
In the ground to long, I can’t lie here no more.

E A E
Well I loved my baby, but she didn’t like me,
A E
Well I loved my baby, but I treated her mean,
B7 A E
Take a look at my baby, getting’ even with me
B7 A E
Take a look at my baby, dancin’ on top of me.
B7 A E
Take a look at my baby, runnin’ wild and free!

A A7
I got to dig my way right out of this mess. I got to do my best, I got to do my best
D9 A7
To dig out of this mess. Dig out of this mess.
E9 D9 A7 E9
I been layed to rest. I got to do my best to dig out of this mess. Dig out of this mess

E A E
Well it’s dark and it’s cold here in this grave.
A E
Well it’s dark and lonely and it’s cold here in this grave.
B7 A E
I’m waitin’ for the angels to come and carry me away.
B7 A E
I’m waitin’ for the angels to come and carry me away.
B7 A E
I’m waitin’ for the angels. Waitin’ here to be saved. To be saved. To be saved. To be saved.

A A7
I got to dig my way right out of this mess. I got to do my best, I got to do my best
D9 A7
To dig out of this mess. Dig out of this mess.
E9 D9 A7 E9 A D A D A
I been layed to rest. I got to do my best to dig out of this mess. Dig out of this mess
A D A D A D A D A…
Do the dead man boogie, the dead man boogie, the boogie man boogie, the boogie man boo
