Back From The Dead Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Well, just in [G]case you might've worried
I was dead and gone and buried
Well, I guess it's time I set
the record [D]straight
I just have to take some time [Dm]to hose off
Shine my boots and dust my clothes off
Fresh my pants, get some rest,
and clean the slate
[G]

[Verse 2]
Those reports of my cremation were
a gross exaggeration
'Cause no matter what
you might've heard or [C]read
I just took alone vaca[C#dim]tion,
now I'm [G]back in circulation
Gimme [A]five, I'm [D]alive,
back from the [G]dead

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][F][G]
[F]Well, some

[Verse 3]
[G]body might've told you
That I joined a Foreign Legion
Rode a camel off into the desert [D]sun
You might've heard I wound up
Smokin' dope and sportin' dreadlocks
In some hippie commune,
nothing or I've [G]done

[Verse 4]
You [G]might've heard a mention I
become a hare Krishna
Bought a tambourine
and shaved my curly [C]hair
Well, the truth of the mat[C#dim]ter is,
just [G]stop charge my [E]batteries
Now I'm [A]back, and that's a fact,
[D]back from the dead

[Interlude 2]
[G][Em][F][G][Gm][G]

[Verse 5]
[C]Just when you thought it
[G]was safe to go to sleep
[D]I'm looking under your [G]bed
[C]Out from the night,
into [G]the spotlights I [Em]lead
[E]I've [A]been bat outta hell,
back from the dead
[D]

[Verse 6]
Well, you [G]might've heard a rumor
That I fall and broke my pelvis
You might've heard I spent
some time [D]in jail
You might've thought you saw me
At the Burger King with Elvis
Lord, you might've thought
I died and went to [G]hell

[Verse 7]
You [G]might've seen my picture
in the National Enquirer
Have looks with Jimmy Hoffa at Club [C]Ned
But just when you were cer[C#dim]tain
that I [G]flopped the final [E]curtain
Son of a gun[A], here I c[D]ome,

[Interlude 3]
back from the dead
[G]
[C][C#dim][G][E][A][D]
[G][A]

[Verse 8]
[G]Yeah, jus[C]t when you thought
it was [G]safe to go to sleep
[D]I'm looking under your [G]bed
[C]Out from the night,
into [G]the spotlights, I [E]lead
[Em]I've [A]been bat outta hell,
back from the dead
[D]

[Verse 9]
[F]Well, you [G]might've thought
that you saw me
Up on stage with Buddy Holly
Patsy Cline, Jim Reed,
and Marylin Mon[D]roe
Singin' "Baby,
Don't Get Hooked On Me"
In a cheesy lounge in Vegas
In some Dead Star impersonator show
[G]

[Verse 10]
You might've thought I formed
a rock and roll band up in heaven
But I'd really rather do it live in[C]stead
So get those cameras [C#dim]focus,
you 'bout [G]to see some hocus- [E]pokus
[A]Say Shazam, here [C]I am,
back from the [G]dead

[Verse 11]
[D]Say Shazam, alacazam, lucky damn
Here I am back from the [G]dead

[Outro 1]
[C][D][Eb][F][G]
