The Night The Skeletons Came To Life Chords & Lyrics - Misc Television - I Think You Should Leave

[VERSE]
[G]The church bells they were ringing
[G]The clouds were low and brown
The h[C]orses they were neighing
The [D]day Robert Palens shot me down[G]

[VERSE]
[G]He rode into town on a jet-black mare

Spat and hitched her to a tree
[C]He made his way to the town saloon
[D]The day Robert Palens murdered me [G]

[G]It was also the night that the skeletons came to life

[G]They came from under the ground
[G]And from all over

The-

[G]Palens grabbed the preacher's daughter

He [aimed] to shoot her at my crown
[C]He cocked that crooked hammer back
[D]And he brought that hammer dow[G]n

Exactly
[G]The bones are the skeleton's money
[G]In our world bones equal dollars
[G]That's why they're coming out tonight
To ge[C]t their bones from you [G]

[G]The skeletons'll pull your hair
[G]Up, but not out
[G]All they want is another chance at life
[C]They've never seen so mu[G]ch food as this

[D]Underground doesn't have as much [G]food as this
[G]And the worms are their money
[G]The bones are their dollars

And the-

[G]The bullet ripped inside my chest

The clouds, they did storm
[C]My sweet Marie, she cried for me
[D]And then I was no more[G]

[G]And it was also the night that the skeletons came to life

[G]The bones are their money
[G]So are the worms

They pull your hair up but not out
To turn into a man and have another c[C]hance at life

But i[C]f they pull it [G]out they turn to [D]bones
