Dead As a Doornail
[Verse 1]
E A
Marley was dead to begin with of this there’s no denying
E B7
Dead as a door nail and no one mourned his dying
E A
Cold as the tip of the grave diggers spade
E B7 E
Resting in the hole that he made
[Verse 2]
E A
Scrooge’s heart was beating but it was covered in frost
E B7
He wouldn’t pay the piper no matter what the cost
E A
Squeezing, wrenching, clutching, grasping covetous old sinner
E B7 E
Frigid as barb wire in the winter
[Chorus]
A E
Dead as a door nail of that you can be sure
E B7
Taken by that final breath for which there is no cure
A E
Dead as a door nail of this there is no doubt
E B7 E
Something quite remarkable soon will come about
[Verse 3]
E A
Do we leave this world when we’re buried in the ground?
E B7
If no one came to visit us would our souls be found
E A
Wandering purgatory ready to arise
E B7 E
To shake them from their reverie and open up their eyes
[Chorus 2]
A E
Dead as a doornail of that you can be sure
E B7
Taken by that final breath for which there is no cure
A E
Dead as a door-nail but not completely gone
E B7 E
The spirits that walk with us help us carry on
E B7 E
The spirits that walk with us help us carry on
