E ---5---           E ---5---		      3 measures Dm
						      3 measures A
							1 measure  Dm
[Dm]In the afterlife
You could be headed for the [A]serious strife
Now you make the scene all day		       < Chorus
But tomorrow there'll be [Dm]Hell to pay

Intro       Dm      A

Chorus x 2

People listen attentively
I mean about future calamity[A]
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Until I heard the old man stamping his [Dm]feet

Chorus						     |-------------|
						           |             |
Instrumental					     |   Hi        |
							     |      Mom    |
This is a [Dm]place where eternally		     |             |
Fire is applied to the body[A]		     |-------------|
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
Then baked into cakes which are passed around[Dm]

Chorus

Instrumental

[Dm]Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement
Top skill and [A]brain
But all the things you try to hide
Will be revealed on the [Dm]other side.

Chorus

Instrumental

[Dm]Now the D and the A and the M and the N
and the A and the T and the [A]I-O-N		X2
Lose your face, lose your name
Then get fitted for a [Dm]suit of flame

Outro
