Verse:
1) There's a[E] boy in crimson [D]rags with a [G]grimace and a [A]spoon
and a [E]little sullen [D]girl face-up [A]staring at the [B]moon
E D G C(P.M.)
And there's no one around to hear the lonesome cries
D(chunk)
Then they pass away alone into the night
Following the same pattern:
2)Well you've seen the disease, suffering and decay
and you whisper to yourself blissfully "It's okay"
and you still refuse the possibility
That the dead are better off than we
3)In the end you may find there's no guiding subtle light
no ancestors or friends, no judge of wrong and right
Just eternal silence and dormancy
And a final everlasting peace
Prechorus: EE DD AA
Chorus:
[E]Why d[B]o [C]we [D]pity the [E]dead?
Are you [E]churned by [B]emoti[C]on from the [D]voices in your [A]head
(Are you scared of the logic that swirls within your head -> Chorus (2) )
[E]Look at all the [C]living and you'll [G]ask yourself [D]why
Chorus(1):
Oh [E]why [G]do [D]we pity the dead?
Chorus(2):
Oh [E]why [G]do [D]we pity the [C]dea[D]d? Pity the de[E]ad
Chorus(3)
Oh [E]why [G]do [D]we pity the dead?
why [E]do w[G]e p[D]ity the dead?
why [E]do w[G]e p[D]ity the d[C]ead[D]?
Pity the d[E]ead

[C]Tell me [D]what you [E]see, [C]tell me [D]what you [E]know
G(P.M.) D(P.M.)
Is there anyone who lives a painless life?
C(P.M.) D(P.M.) E(P.M.)
If there is, show me so
E E E E(*) E E E D
The destitute and famished, demonic and the banished
(*) 2nd guitar plays E one octave higher and arpeggiated
E E E E(*) E E E D
dejected and the ostracized, the brainwashed and the paralyzed
(*) 2nd guitar plays E one octave higher and arpeggiated
the [E]conquered and [C]objectified, the [G]few who see the [D]other side
[C]Tell me [D]what you [E]see
G(P.M.) D(P.M.) C D E(all 3 chords P.M.)
It's a mortal wretched cacophony - Let's go...
