This is my first attempt at tabbing this song, so there will be errors; this is just how 
I learned to play it. I couldn’t find any detailed lessons, just the chords themselves. 
I had to tab it by myself.Capo: None required, but play it with whatever 
you feel comfortable with. Also, if 
you transpose it up or down 
just note that it changes 
only the chord names. You must figure out the tabbed notes for yourself.
Before we begin, this is an arpeggiated song. You can strum it if you want (the strum pattern 
is just two down 
strokes for Am, one for F, one for E) but I find it much better if you arpeggiate the chords.
Here is a basic tab of the song. Once you reach the end, loop back to the beginning.

[Verse]
AmDid you ever think as a hearse goes by
FYou might be the Eone to die?
AmThey wrap you up in a bloody sheet
FCover you up for Eabout six weeks.
AmThey put you in a painted box
FSeal it tight with Egirders and locks
AmAll goes well for maybe a week
FThen the parasites sEtart to eat.
[Chorus]
AmThe bugs crawl in the bugs crawl out
FThey play poker oEn your snout
AmThey’ll chew through your eyes, they’ll bite your nose
FThey’ll eat the fungus betEween your toes.
[Bridge]    
A Ampurple fly with pulsating wings
FFlies in your stomach and Eout your thing
AmTry as you might your stomach explodes
FBlood comes out like Ewhipping cream.
[Chorus]
AmThe bugs come out and some worms come in
FYour intestines boil and your Eblood starts to thin
AmAll the worms crawl out in a mass
FYour eyes fall out and your Eskin turns black.
