[Intro 1]
[Am][D]
[C][F#dim][D][Am][C]
[F#dim][D]

[Verse 1]
Do you [Am]find yourself in darkness
Do you find yourself in light?
That's a [F#dim]question I want answered
Could you [F]answer me tonight?
Could you [Am]give me some directions
In this cave of [C]af terlife?
Do I [F#dim]struggle with my conscience
As it [F]struggles with my life?
In this [C]blackness that surrounds me
But does[E]n't give me any room
There's so [F]much that I [D]forget...
Is that the curse of the mummy's
tomb?
[Am][D][Am]

[Verse 2]
[D]
We're [Am]all the bold explorer
We all seek gold and fame
[C]Out ask[F#dim]ing for directions
To [F]the house that knows no pain
And the [Am]casual traveler wonders
Who led us all [C]astray
[Am]As h[F#dim]e leans against the bar
[F]And watches children play
In the black[C]ness that surrounds them
Where there's [E]never any room
But he's [F]following his own [D]quest
For the curse of the mummy's
tomb
[Am][D][Am]

[Verse 3]
[D]
There are [Am]riches here you cannot sell
So value [C]them we don't
[F#dim]There are spies at every corner
Please [F]help us they say "won't"
There are spe[Am]cial traps of wisdom
Devised [C]to seize the fool
To en[F#dim]tomb him with
the mummy's gold
There are [F]demons who shout
"duel!"
But I'm [C]too busy with my conscience
I'm too [E]busy with my gloom
Can you [F]rid me of the fever?
[D]
That's the curse of the mummy's
tomb
[Am][C][D][Am]

[Verse 4]
[D]
[Am]We started out together
Our expedi[C]tions linked
[Am]But every stud[F#dim]ent has a theory
The be[F]st he's ever thinked
And our [Am]vanity betrays us
[C]And our nerve it disappears
[Am]After cros[F#dim]sing the dark threshold
Into [F]loneliness and tears
Could [C]I travel into caves unknown
Hear the [E]dullest thud of doom
Can I [F]wander noisy [D]silence?
That's the curse of the mummy's
tomb
[Am][F#dim][D][Am]

[Verse 5]
[D]
Buried [Am]deep within the mountain
In the Valley of the King
There's a [F#dim]passageway
that leads there
Where [F]the wind whistles and sings
Of a [Am]time so long forgotten
But it seems like yesterday
When [F#dim]the queen was in her palace
And [F]the king was on his way
To the [C]bosom of his family
To [E]the holy golden womb
What was [F]that [D]love?
That's the curse of the mummy's
tomb
[Am][D][Am]

[Verse 6]
[D]
If you [Am]want to know what
happened here
There is writing on [C]the wall
[F#dim]There are strange signs and ornaments
[D]That'll rea[F]lly tell you all
But they're [Am]easy to misunderstand
You [C]have to tell the truth
That's [F#dim]how you find the secret
[F]Of her eternal youth
There are [C]curses that are blessings
There [E]are clues in every room
It's up to you [F]now[D]
That's the curse of the mummy's
tomb
[Am][D][Am]

[Verse 7]
[D]
[Am]Nobody there to help you
As the appari[C]tion nears
[Am]Nobo[F#dim]dy loves like she did
Could [F]take away your fears
[Am]Was this what you were afraid of?
Life without [C]the queen?
For[F#dim]get it, just remember
[D]This lif[F]e is but a dream
And [C]you know that hope's returning
Like a [E]new bride to the groom

[Verse 8]
There's [F]no [D]curse...

[Outro 1]
Just a mummy's [Am]tomb[Am]
[D][Am][D][Am]
[D][Am][D]
