G Em7 D Cadd9
There's a skeleton, in everybody's closet
D Em7 Cadd9
I can think of one or two in my own room
G Em7 D Cadd9
But I would like to introduce them both to you
D Em7 Cadd9
Shake their bony hands and so dispell the gloom
D Em7
Cause your so kind
D Cadd9
I know you would not mind
G Em7 D Cadd9
You'd send away the ghosts that haunt me now
D Em7
And the things I fear
D Cadd9
Just wouldn't seem so near
G Em7
And when I stroll out late at night
D Cadd9 G
There would be nothin' rattlin' at my heels
G Em7 D Cadd9
There are night when all my aching bones won't let me sleep
D Em7 Cadd9
And demons come to plague me as I lie in bed
G Em7 D Cadd9
But I know if you were sleeping there beside me then
D Em7 Cadd9
That you would fend them off and they would let me rest
D Em7
Cause your so kind
D Cadd9
I know you would not mind
G Em7 D Cadd9
You'd send away the ghosts that haunt me now
D Em7
And the things I fear
D Cadd9
Just wouldn't seem so near
G Em7
And when I stroll out late at night
D Cadd9
There would be nothin' rattlin' at my heels
D Em7
There are nights
D Cadd9
When the wind comes howling through my old place
D Em7
I have dreams
D Cadd9
And I wake up with the sweat pouring down my face
G Em7 D
And I wait.........
Cadd9
Till the morning comes
G Em7 D Cadd9
There will come a time I fear when all my days are done
D Em7 Cadd9
And they will come collect my corpse and bury me
G Em7 D Cadd9
And then I hope that you'll come over to the Other Side
D Em7 Cadd9
Join me in our new life, keep me company
D Em7
Cause your so kind
D Cadd9
I know you would not mind
G Em7 D Cadd9
You'd send away the ghosts that haunt me now
D Em7
And the things I fear
D Cadd9
Just wouldn't seem so near
G Em7
And when I stroll out late at night
D Cadd9 G
There would be nothin' rattlin' at my heels

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CRASH TEST DUMMIES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
