Em   C   G   D/F#x4
[Verse 1]
EmAnother heCad hangs lowly, chGild is slowly taD/F#ken
EmAnd the violence caCused such silence, wGho are we mistaD/F#ken
But you seEme it's not me, it's not mCy family
In your heaGd, in your head, they are fighD/F#ting
With their tanEmks and their bombs and their bomCbs and their guns
in your heaGd, in your head, they are cryD/F#ing

With their tanEmks and their bombs and their bomCbs and their guns
In your heaGd, in your head, they are dyD/F#ing
[Chorus 2]

The story behind the song

"Zombie" is a powerful protest song by the Cranberries, written by lead singer Dolores O'Riordan. It was inspired by the young victims of a bombing in Warrington, England, during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Released in 1994 as the lead single from their second album, No Need to Argue, critics noted its unique grunge-style distorted guitar and shouted vocals, a departure from the band's usual sound. The song quickly became a stadium anthem and is considered the band's signature track.
