Bobby Pickett - Monster Mash Chords

Chord reference G, Em, C, D

Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↑↓↑

I [G]was working in the lab late one night When my [Em]eyes beheld an eerie sight For my [C]monster from his slab began to rise And [D]suddenly to my surprise

He did the [G]mash, he did the monster mash The monster [Em]mash, it was a graveyard smash He did the [C]mash, it caught on in a flash He did the [D]mash, he did the monster mash

From my [G]laboratory in the castle east To the [Em]master bedroom where the vampires feast The [C]ghouls all came from their humble abodes To [D]get a jolt from my electrodes

They did the [G]mash, they did the monster mash The monster [Em]mash, it was a graveyard smash They did the [C]mash, it caught on in a flash They did the [D]mash, they did the monster mash

The [C]zombies were having fun, the [D]party had just begun The [C]guests included Wolf Man, [D]Dracula and his son

The [G]scene was rocking, all were digging the sounds [Em]Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds The [C]Coffin-Bangers were about to arrive With their [D]vocal group, “The Crypt-Kicker Five”

They played the [G]mash, they played the monster mash The monster [Em]mash, it was a graveyard smash They played the [C]mash, it caught on in a flash They played the [D]mash, they played the monster mash

Out [G]from his coffin, Drac’s voice did ring, seems [Em]he was troubled by just one thing He [C]opened the lid and shook his fist, And [D]said, “Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?”

It’s now the [G]mash, it’s now the monster mash The monster [Em]mash, and it’s a graveyard smash It’s now the [C]mash, it’s caught on in a flash It’s now the [D]mash, it’s now the monster mash Now [G]everything’s cool, Drac’s a part of the band And [Em]my monster mash is the hit of the land For [C]you, the living, this mash was meant too When [D]you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you

Then you can [G]mash, then you can monster mash, The monster [Em]mash, and do my graveyard smash Then you can [C]mash, you’ll catch on in a flash, Then you can [D]mash, then you can monster mash
