D
The old man's in the kitchen
D
He's a smile short of laughing
Bm A
And the radio's a-beaming
G* D
From the stars that are coughing up
D
The change in his pockets
D
And the shrug in his shoulders
Bm A
And the glove from his fingers
G* D
And the love that I hold for him
[Chorus]
G D A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
D
Raising the dead
G D A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
G G...
Raising the dead
[Verse 2]
D
And those old songs are twitching
D
With the knees that are pitching
Bm A
And the fair world's a-grinning

To the place where he lived
D
And the room that he died in
Bm A G* D
There's a new song playing on the radio that night

Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
D
Raising the dead
G D A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
G G...
Raising the dead
[Verse 3]
D D
He operates on a oath preconceived
Bm A G*
To take down the pillars of our society

Walking out of sadness, walking out of grief
Bm A G* D
Walking out of gladness and walking like a thief
[Chorus]
G D A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
D
Raising the dead
G D A
Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
G G...
Raising the dead
[Verse 4]
D
I collaborate with spirit
D Bm
I helped it find its way back to me
A G* D
Where I've [?] with myself on my way
D D
On my way to the old man in the kitchen on my way
Bm A G* D
To the [?]broken-hearted people who all who say
[Chorus/Outro]

Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead

Raising the dead

Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead

Raising the dead

Oh oh, raising the dead, raising the dead
