[Verse]

Dm C F

Under the arc of a weather stain boards,

Dm C F

Ancient goblins, and warlords,

Come out of the ground, not making a sound,

Dm C F

The smell of death is all around,

C Dm

And the night when the cold wind blows,

C Dm Bb

No one cares, nobody knows.

[Chorus]

Dm F C Bb

I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary,

Dm C Bb C

I don't want to live my life again,

Dm F C Bb

I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary,

Dm C Bb C

I don't want to live my life again.

[Verse]

Dm C F

Follow Victor to the sacred place,

Dm C F

This ain't a dream, I can't escape,

Dm C F

Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones,

Dm C F

Spirits moaning among the tombstones,

C Dm

And the night, when the moon is bright,

C Dm Bb

Someone cries, something ain't right.

[Chorus]

Dm F C Bb

I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary,

Dm C Bb C

I don't want to live my life again,

I don't want to live my life again.

The moon is full, the air is still,

Dm C F

All of a sudden I feel a chill,

Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away,

Skeletons dance, I curse this day,

C Dm

And the night when the wolves cry out,

C Dm Bb

Listen close and you can hear me shout.

I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary,
