[Verse 1]
[D]Boom boom acka-lacka lacka boom

[Interlude 1]
Boom boom acka-lacka boom boom
[D][G][D][C][D]
[Dm][D][G]

[Verse 2]
It was a [D]night like this forty
million [C]years ago
[Cm]I lit a cigare[Dm]tte,
[D]picked up a monkey skull to go[G]
[Dm]The sun was spitting fire,
[D]the sky was blue [C]as ice
[D]I f[Dm]elt a little tired,
[D]so I watched [G]Miami Vice
And walked the [F]dinosaur,
I walked the [Em]di no[Eb]saur[A]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]Open the door, get [D]on the floor
Everybody [C]walk the dinosaur
[Dm]Open the door, get [D]on the floor
Everybody [G]walk the dinosaur
[Dm]Open the door, get on the floor
[D]Everybody walk the di[C]nosaur[D]
[Dm]Open the door, get on the floor
[D]Everybody [G]walk the dinosaur
[Dm][D][Dm]

[Verse 4]
[G]
I met you [Dm]in a cave,
[D]you were [A]painting buffalo
[C]I sai[Dm]d I'd be your slave,
follow wherever you [G]go
That [Dm]night we split a rattlesnake
and [D]danced beneath [Dm]the stars
You fell asleep,
I stayed awake and watched the passing [G]cars
And walked the [F]dinosaur,
I [G]walked the [Em]dinosaur[Eb][A]

[Verse 5]
[Dm]Open the door, get [D]on [Dm]the floor
[D]Everybody [C]walk the [D]dinosaur
[Dm]Open the door, get on the floor
[A]Everybody walk the [G]di nosaur
[Dm]Open the door, get on the floor
[C]Everybody walk the [Dm]dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody [D]walk the [G]di nosaur

[Verse 6]
[G]One night I dreamed [F]of New York
[G]You and I roasting [F]blue pork
In [G]the [F]Statue [G]of [Dm]Liberty's torch
[D][C][Dm][A][Dm][A][G]
Elvis landed [F]in a rocket ship
[G]Healed a couple of leapers
[F]and disappeared
But [A]where was his beard?

[Interlude 2]
[Dm][D][C][Dm]
[G]

[Verse 7]
[Dm]A[C][Dm][G]
[Dm][C][Dm][A][G]
[Dm]shad[C]ow[Dm][D][G]
[Dm]from the sky much too big to [C]be a bird
[Dm]A screaming crashing noise
louder than [G]I've ever heard
It [Dm]looked like two big silver trees
that somehow [C]learned to soar
[Dm]Suddenly a summer breeze
and a mighty li[G]on's [F]roar
I killed the [Em]dinosaur,
[Eb]I ki[Ebsus4]lled the di[Bbm]nosaur[A][Dm][C][Dm]

[Verse 8]
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody [A]kill the [G]di nosaur

[C]get[Dm] on the floor[G][Dm]
Everybody kill the [C]di [Dm]nosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the [G]dinosaur
[Dm]Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the [C]di nosaur
[Dm]Repeat choru[A]s 2 [Dm]one time
Boom boom acka-lacka lacka [Dm]boom
Boom [G]boom acka-lacka boom boom
