[Verse 1]
DmBabyG7  
Empires crumble all the Fmaj7timeE  
DmPay it no mindG7  
You just happened to witness Fmaj7mineE  
DmDon't let G7all the light fall from your Fmaj7eyesE  
DmCome comeG7  
Empires crumble all the Fmaj7timeE  
[Chorus]
AHow can a dismally Ftypical GTuesday
DDelivering blues with Flead in its Gcanopy
AScruff me pin me and Flet's make a Gman of me
DTurn up the pounding of the Fhearts all Garound
AAnd I'm bound to get busy with Fchecking on Gthe living
DAnd I'll wring out their hands and my Feyes with the Gsobbing
ABut how can a bland unremarkable typical Tuesday be Day of the Dead?
