[Primeira Parte
Em C
Another head hangs lowly
G D/F#
Child is slowly taken
Em C
And the violence caused such silence
G D/F#
Who are we mistaken
Em
But you see, it's not me
C
It's not my family
G
In your head, in your head
D/F#
They are fighting
Em
With their tanks, and their bombs
C
And their bombs, and their guns
G D/F#
In your head, in your head they are cryin'
[Refrão]
E5 C5
In your head, in your head
G5 D5/F#
Zombie, zombie, zombie êh êh
E5 C5
What's in your head, in your head
G5 D5/F#
Zombie, zombie, zombie êh êh êh ôh

[Segunda Parte]
Em C
Another mother's breakin'
G D/F#
Heart is taking over
Em C
When the violence causes such silence
G D/F#
We must be mistaken
Em C
It's the same old theme since 1916
G
In your head
D/F#
In your head they're still fightin'
Em
With their tanks and their bombs
C
And their bombs and their guns
G D/F#
In your head, in your head they are dying
[Refrão]
E5 C5
In your head, in your head
G5 D5/F#

E5 C5
What's in your head, in your head
G5 D5/F#
Zombie, zombie, zombie êh êh êh ôh
