Squirrel Nut Zippers - Hell Chords

Capo V

Intro Am E

Am
In the afterlife
                            E
You could be headed for the serious strife 

Now you make the scene all day
                         Am
But tomorrow there'll be hell to pay (2X)

Am
People listen attentively
                    E
I mean about future calamity

I used to think the idea was obsolete
                                       Am
Until I heard the old man stamping his feet

Am
In the afterlife
                            E
You could be headed for the serious strife 

Now you make the scene all day
                         Am
But tomorrow there'll be hell to pay

          Am
This is a place where eternally
                       E
Fire is applied to the body

Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
                                      Am
And baked into cakes which are passed around

Am
In the afterlife
                            E
You could be headed for the serious strife 

Now you make the scene all day
                         Am
But tomorrow there'll be hell to pay

Am
Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement
               E
job skills and brains

But all the things you try to hide
                        Am
Will be revealed on the other side

Am
In the afterlife
                            E
You could be headed for the serious strife 

Now you make the scene all day
                         Am
But tomorrow there'll be hell to pay

(Instrumental)

         A
Now the 'D' and the 'A' and the 'M' and the 'N'
                                 E
And the 'A' and the 'T' and the 'I'-'O'-'N'

Lose your face, lose your name
                      Am
Then get fitted for a suit of flame! (2X)
