G D
There is a dead
Em D
Opera star
C D
Floating in the great
G D
Dismal swamp
G D
And he was wearing
Em D
A dress with watermelons on it
C D
And he stuffed his bra
C
With spanish moss
[Chorus]

G D
Black tupelo
Em D
Where all the planets neon goes to die
C D

Em D
Went crazy from sleeping under the moonlight
C D
And the soul of a unbaptised infant
C
He swims the waters upsetting boats
