[A] _ _ I was working all night in my office, when a man I had recently killed, _ called [D] me up from a phone near my building.
So [E] I looked out the window at him, [F#] he had the same [B] obsequious manner, _ [Bm] that was the reason [C#m] I had [D] him [E] killed.
[C#m] So to calm my [F#m] nerves I sang this [A] song [B] to him, over [E] the [A] phone.
_ Turn around, [F#m] turn around, there's a thing there that can be found.
[E] [A] Turn around, turn around, it's a human skull on the ground.
[D] Human [E] [D] skull on the ground.
[G#m] [A] Turn around.
_ [G] _
[F#m] _ [A] _ I was out by myself in the graveyard, _ I was doing an [D] [A] interpretive dance.
[D] When I felt something [G] heavy and [Bm] pointed, _ _ [E] strike me in the back of my neck.
[F#] And then the ghost of my [B] dance instructor, [F#] _ [Bm] pushed me down [C#m] into an [D] open grave.
[E] _ [C#] And as dirt rained down [F#m] she [A] played a [B] xylophone, and sang me this [E] song.
[A] Turn around, turn [D] [E] around, [A] there's a thing there that can be found.
Turn around, turn around, it's a human [D] skull on the [C#m] ground.
[Bm] Human [C#m] [D] skull on the ground.
[E] [A] Turn [Bm] [A] around. _ _
_ _ We were waving our arms out the window, of a fast moving passenger train.
[D] Acting in an irresponsible fashion, _ [E] until the engineer whose back had been turned.
And [F#] who we thought would find us highly amusing, _ [B] quickly swiveled [C#m] his head [D] _
[E] around.
[C#] And his face which [F] was [F#m] a paper [E]-white mask [B] of evil, sang us [E] this song.
[A] _ _ Turn around, turn around, _ there's a thing [E] there that [A] can be found.
_ _ Turn around, _ turn around, it's a human [F#m] skull on the ground.
[D] Human skull on the ground.
_ [C#m] Turn [F#m] around. _ _ _
_ [A] _ Turn around, _ turn around, _ there's a thing there that can be found.
_ Turn around, _ turn around, _ it's a human skull on the ground.
Human skull, [Bm] human skull, on the ground, [B] [A] turn around _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
