Monster Mash
From the album, "Concert"
Here's the strum for the rhythm guitar:
x x V x x ^ x x
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
Try to sound eerie, it's great!
[Verse 1]
CI was working in the lab, late one night
AmWhen my eyes beheld an eerie sight
FWhen my monster from its slab began to rise
GAnd suddenly, to my surprise...
[Chorus]
C(He did the mash) He did the monster mash!
Am(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash!
F(He did the mash) It caught on in a flash!
G(The monster mash) It's called the monster mash!
[Verse 2]
The laboratory in the castle eaves
In the master bedroom where the vampires sleep
The ghouls all came from their earthly abode
To get a jolt from my electrode!
[Chorus]
C(They did the mash) They did the monster mash!
Am(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash!
F(They did the mash) It caught on in a flash!
G(The monster mash) It's called the monster mash!
[Verse 3]
The zombies were having fun, yeah
The party had just begun
The guests included the Wolf Man
Dracula, and his little baby boy
[Verse 4]
The scene was rocking, all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive,
With the vocal group, the Beach Boy Five!
[Chorus]
C(They did the mash) They did the monster mash!
Am(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash!
F(They did the mash) It caught on in a flash!
G(The monster mash) It's called the monster mash!

[Verse 1]

I was working in the lab, late one night

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight

When my monster from its slab began to rise

And suddenly, to my surprise...

[Chorus]

(He did the mash) He did the monster mash!

(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash!

(He did the mash) It caught on in a flash!

(The monster mash) It's called the monster mash!

The laboratory in the castle eaves

In the master bedroom where the vampires sleep

The ghouls all came from their earthly abode

To get a jolt from my electrode!

[Chorus]

(They did the mash) They did the monster mash!

(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash!

(They did the mash) It caught on in a flash!

(The monster mash) It's called the monster mash!

Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds

The coffin-bangers were about to arrive,

With the vocal group, the Beach Boy Five!

(They did the mash) They did the monster mash!

(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash!

(They did the mash) It caught on in a flash!

(The monster mash) It's called the monster mash!
