Em Another Chead hangs lowly

G6Child is slowly D/F#taken

Em And the violence Ccaused such silence

G6Who are we misD/F#taken

[]but you see, it's not me

it's not Cmy family

in your G6head, in your head

they are D/F#fighting

With their Emtanks, and their bombs,

and their Cbombs, and their guns

In your G6head, in your head they are D/F#cryin'

Chorus:

In your Emhead, In your Chead

ZomG6bie, zombie, zomD/F#bie eh eh

What's in your Emhead, in your Chead

ZomG6bie, zombie, zomD/F#bie eh eh eh oh

Em Another Cmother's breakin'

G6heart is taking D/F#over

Em when the violence Ccauses such silence

G6we must be D/F#mistaken

it's the Csame old theme since 1916

in your G6head, in your head they're still D/F#fightin'

With their Emtanks, and their bombs

And their Cbombs and their guns

In your G6head, in your head they are D/F#dying

Chorus:
