Lake Of Fire by Meat Puppets
Lake Of Fire
chorus:
G F Bb
Where do bad folks go when they die
G C Bb
They don''t go to heaven where the angels fly
G F Bb
They go to the lake of fire and fry
C F G
Won''t see ''em again ''til the fourth of July
G - F G
G - F G
Dm Bb
Now I knew a lady who came from Duluth
Dm A
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
Dm Bb
She went to her grave just a little too soon
C Dm
and flew away howlin'' on a yellow moon
-repeat chorus-
Now people howl and people moan
and look for a dry place to call their own
and try to find somewhere to rest their bones
for the angels and the devil fight to make ''em their own
-repeat chorus-

version 2
Tuning: E A D G B E
I use power chords, but I think you can just play the whole minor chord instead (so
instead of F# power chord you could do F#m), although I''m not entirely sure about that.
This is tabbed from a live version
[Chorus]
F# E A
Where do bad folks go when they die

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don''t go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry
Won''t see them again ''till the fourth of July
I knew a lady who lived in Duluth
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave a little too soon
And she flew away howling at the yellow moon
Where do bad folks go when they die?

And they look for a dry place to call their home
And try to find someplace to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils fight to claim them for their own
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don''t go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don''t go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry
Won''t see them again ''till the fourth of July
I knew a lady who lived in Duluth
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave a little too soon
And she flew away howling at the yellow moon
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don''t go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry
Won''t see them again ''till the fourth of July
Now the people cry and the people moan
And they look for a dry place to call their home
And try to find someplace to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils fight to claim them for their own
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don''t go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry
Won''t see them again ''till the fourth of July
