 muting.  Listen to the record for rhythm.

 G                 Gsh       F          G 
 When death sleeps,        it dreams of you

 Gsh                Ash               G
 Delilah played the dead girl at the freak show,

 Gsh        Ash     G
 She smiles like a ghost, 

      Gsh             Ash        G
 like zombies eatin' dust in mexico.

 C                 Gsh        G         C
 Life dries cold beneath the dead soul lights

 Gsh    G
 Ye  -  ah.

 G                             Gsh  F          G
 She asked if it would hurt, I smiled and said no,

     Gsh             Ash            G
 The lie ran down my chin like embryo

 Gsh        Ash     G
 She smiles like a corpse,

      Gsh             Ash        G
 like zombies eatin' dust in mexico.


 C                 Gsh        G         C
 Life dries cold beneath the dead soul lights

 At this point the song returns to the vocal riffs accompanied
 by the intro lead and then the vocals "dead girl etc"...

 Then comes this section.

 Ash                     F
 I been dryin' in a dead age,

                           G
 I been reekin' of the new plague,

                            Dsh
 The sound of the ocean is dead, 

                                        Ash
 Its just the echo of the blood in your head,

 Ash                     F
 Sister burn the temple,

                       G
 And stand beneath the moon,

                           Dsh
 The sound of the ocean is dead,

                                        Ash
 Its just the echo of the blood in your head,

 
                    Fsh
 Ah          -      Ah

                     Gsh
 Yeah   Yeah   Ye Ye Ye-ah!
 
                     Ash
 Burnin' your black flags.
