The Man With The Skeleton Arms by Sycamore Smith
The Man With The Skeleton Arms
Chorus:
G D
Wake up, Flanagan, the bartender's comin'
Am
He says there's someone here
C
Who means to do us harm--
G D
Sound the alarm, it's the man with the skeleton arms
G D G
Verse 1:
Em D
Ten years ago on Hogsback Mountain
C D
The flames was roaring like a lion in a fountain
Em D
The trees were burning, too many to count 'em
C D Em
And trapped in the middle with fire all around him, was a man...
Em D
Flanagan and I was out camping that day
C D
We started our fire with turpentine and hay
Em D
The wind was howlin' so I guess we should have known
C D Em
That the flames was gonna get blown across the land...
Chorus
Verse 2:
Em D
Two days later when the fire died out
C D
Flanagan and I went rootin' about
Em D
For to find a little dinner of roasted critter,
C D Em
Blackened blackbird eggs and pine-cone fritters...
Em D
That was how we happened on the badly burned man
C D
He was yelpin' for help and so we each grabbed a hand
Em D
Thinking we'd be heroes if we dragged him back home,
C D Em
We pulled, but pulled the flesh right offa the bone...
Chorus
Verse 3:
Em D
Now of all the mad people, that guy was the maddest
C D
He pulled a bone across his throat and pointed right at us
Em D
Ten years on the run from that skeletal man
C D Em
He's sworn his revenge, we've heard his sinister plan...:
Em D
He'll string us up by our hands and lift us over a vat
C D
And dip us up to our elbows in boiling fat
Em D
It's like an eye for an eye, but ninety-nine times worse
C D
He wants to do to us what we did to him,
Em
Except in reverse...
