Verse 1
Em C
Another head hangs lowly, child is slowly taken.
G D
And the violence caused such silence, who are we mistaken?
Em C
But you see, it’s not me, it’s not my family.
G D
In your head, in your head they are fighting.
Chorus
Em C G D
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie,
Em C G D
What’s in your head, in your head?
Em C G D
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie-ie, oh.
