Prepare the Preparations
Note: This is the most extensive tab I have submitted to this site. If I've made any
and I'm sure there are a few, I can only hope that you will be understanding and
As always, constructive comments and corrections are more than welcome. Also, I really
it when people rate my tab(s)! Enjoy!
AmEmAmEm
Behind a curtain of towering pines the sun's settling red
FCEGE
A city hidden high in the hills comes out to honor the dead
AmEmAmEm
Families somberly walk through the town they build alters and pray
FCEGE
Clean the tombs and clutch rosaries and speak of better days
AmECF#m
From the edge of the island they ferry back to the shore
FCGE
They climb under their covers and pray a little more
AmECF#m
In this ancient city of stone they sigh and bow their heads
FE
The living seem rather, well...dead
AmEmAmEm
The sun is down the earth shakes the wind doth howl
EmFCE
And I'm making moves all across the park, we're stirring in the dark
AmEmAmEm
The caskets squeak, the trees wheeze, the crypts all creak
EmFC
And toes sepulchered for months in months in dust
E
Are wiggling off their , woah
AmEmAmEm
Shed your shrouds, slip your fingertips through the ground

EmFC
Get those catacombs open I'm hoping you'll join us
E
Everybody come on out, yeah
AmCFCG
What a lovely, lovely night for a drink and a parade
ACEAm
We'll dance until the morning light, this town should be afraid
AGAGAmFAm
Candied pumpkins, sweet egg bread, we love rising from the dead
AGAGAmFAm
Carpals, tarsals, vertebrae, that's us clicking on parade
AmEGF#m
I move without any muscles, my skull's a cavernous hall
FCGE
Tendons are made for pulling my friend, I don't need them at all
AmECF#m
Mescal in our mandibles and porridge on our ribs
F5E5
Their prospects are looking quite grim
AGABFEF5GABCDC5A5G#5
Board the mariposas now, set sail for the quivering light ahead
A5G#5A5B5F5E5F5
We're descending on the town
The living we're scaring, nightmaring in fright
A|--7-6----7-----------------------------------|
E|---------------3-2------3----6-5-6-----9-----|
They've waited forever to bring us together we finally wake them up tonight!

Note: This is basically the whole song, sans two of the breakdowns. I will update this
soon, but I would hate to risk losing all the work I've put into this, which has
twice.
