I Love The Dead
						Em9  B7/E  
I love the dead before they're cold,
						Em9  B7/E  
Their blueing flesh for me to hold.
						Em9  B7/E  
Cadaver eyes upon me see nothing.
						Em9  B7/E  
I love the dead before they rise,
						Em9  B7/E  
No farewells, no goodbyes.
						Em9  B7/E  
I never even knew your now-rotting face.
						Em9  B7/E  
While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave.
						Em9  B7/E  
I have other uses for you, Darling.
