Skeletons In The Closet Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Don't go down to the basement
Lock the attic door
Keep the cupboard shut
And put a padlock on that drawer
[F]

[Verse 2]
[Am]There are skeletons in the closet
Knocking to be let [F]out
[Am]There are skeletons in the closet
And they're struggling to
get [F]out
[Am]

[Verse 3]
I know it's all a mystery

[Verse 4]
There's something in our history
[Am]
[F#m]Something happened here
so long [E]ago[D]
Something [C#m]we never tal[F#m]k abou[B]t
But we all [C#m]know
[F#m]What has happened here? I t[E]ry to t[D]hink
Though it was [C#m]oh, so lo[F#m]ng ago[Bm]
[B]It's left a stink

[Interlude 1]
[C#m][A][Am]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Shake and rattle those bones
Shake and rattle those bones

[Verse 6]
[Am]Turn up the radio
Turn on the new [F]TV[Am]
Play something loud and foolish
And put the kettle on for tea
[F]

[Verse 7]
[Am]There are skeletons in the closet
The children will take [F]fright
[Am]There are skeletons in the closet
And they're rattling through the [F]night

[Verse 8]
[F]I k[Am]now it's all a mystery

[Verse 9]
There's something in our history
[Am]
[F#m]Something happened here,
what we [E]don't [D]know
Something that's [C#m]still a [F#m]mystery
[B]from long ago[C#m]
[F#m]Murder, plague and pillage
[E]have left their [D]mark
You hear the [C#m]ghosts of [F#m]history[Bm]
[B]As soo[Bsus4]n as it's da[B]rk[C#m]

[Verse 10]
[Am]Shake and rattle
[Am]Shake and rattle
[Am]Shake, shake and rattle
[Am]Shake- shake- shake
Shake- shake- shake- shake- shake- shake

[Verse 11]
[Am]Shake and rattle those [Am]bones
Shake and rattle [Am]those bones
Shake and rattle those [Am]bones
Shake and rattle those [Am]bones
