Tom: Bm
D
Started out just like any other day
Bm
The people went to work without any delays
G Gmaj7 A Bm7 A7
Including Brad, Brad the accountant
D
Brad was sick of numbers but he didn't care
Bm
As long as his boss gave him his well earned share
G Gmaj7 A Bm7 A7
It sucked so bad, nothing too special about it
D
Mary died of TB in 19 1 2
Bm
And in a hundred years her teeth fell out and skin turned blue
G Gmaj7 A Bm7 A7
Her life was sad, nobody'd ever doubt it
D
But a century passed and it brang her back
Bm
And her cold hand brushed right up and felt the plaque
G Gmaj7
That had been placed there in her memory
A Bm7 A
Here lies our dear Mary
[Chorus]
G A
If you can't find true love
D Gbm D
Maybe you were too late
G A D Gbm D
Perhaps underground rests your soulmate
G A D Gbm D
The zombie apocalypse isn't so bad
G Dmaj7
This is the story of Mary and Brad
[Verse 2]
D
TV flicked on and the newsman spoke
Bm
About how the gate to the cemetery somehow broke
G Gmaj7 A
It was so weird, 'cause dead people stay dead, right?
Bm7 A7 D
Wrong that wasn't the case, Mary hobbled along
Bm
And all the people on the sidewalk thought this is so wrong
G Gmaj7 A Bm7 A7
She was so feared, but all she wanted was light
D
Brad saw her and he had a heart attack
Bm
Hoped he wasn't just a bloody necrophiliac
G Gmaj7 A Bm7 A7
Closer she neared, because he had caught her sight
D
She said I like eating people, and I like brains a lot
Bm
But Brad I'll spare your life because I think you're pretty hot
G Gmaj7 A Bm7 A
With discipline and self control I think I could love your human soul
[Chorus]
G Dmaj7
If you can't find love
D Gbm D
Maybe you were too late
G A D Gbm D
Perhaps underground rests your soulmate
G A D Gbm D
The zombie apocalypse isn't so bad
G Dmaj7
This is the story of Mary and Brad
G Dmaj7
Mary and Brad
G Dmaj7
Mary and Brad
D Dmaj7
G
Never mind scratch that
Dmaj7
Mary ate Brad
G Dmaj7
Mary ate Brad
G Dmaj7 A7
Mary ate Brad
[Verse 3]
D
Well you know zombies they're a selfish breed
Bm
And hey nutrition is just one of Mary's basic needs
G Gmaj7 A Bm7 A
And either way she had an undead boyfriend
D
Soon the whole world's future wasn't looking well
Bm
At least conspiracy theorists proved two thousand and twelve
G Gmaj7 A Bm7 A
Before the same, witness their whole lives bend
D
Eventually the zombies popped up everywhere
Bm
And they eliminated everybody sur la terre
G Gmaj7 A Bm7 A
It's fair to say it really had been the end
D
Sometimes Mary remembered Brad
Bm
His contribution to the takeover sure made her glad
G Gmaj7
Though none of their brief love was real
A Bm7 A
She thanked him for the lovely meal
[Chorus]
G A
If you can't find love
D Gbm D
Sorry you were too late
G A D Gbm D
Don't look underground for your soulmate
G A D
Because the dead don't want love I must add
G Dmaj7
I'm sorry dear friends but Mary ate Brad
G Dmaj7
Mary ate Brad
G Dmaj7
Mary ate Brad
D Dmaj7
G Dmaj7
And here ends the story of Mary and Brad
G Dmaj7
Mary and Brad
G Dmaj7 D Dmaj7
Mary and Brad
[Outro]
G Ab A6
A D
Mary and Brad
