SYCAMORE SMITH - THE MAN WITH THE SKELETON ARMS CHORDS

Tuning: E A D G B E

This is a very simple version I worked out when I saw it didn't have a tab. The song was popularized by Toh Kay when he covered it in You By Me Vol: 2 (which I highly recommend) that came out a few weeks ago (August, 2014) Chorus:

^GWake up, Flanagan, the ^Dbartender's comin' He says there's ^Amsomeone here Who means to do us ^Charm-- ^GSound the alarm, it's the ^Dman with the skeleton arms

G D G Verse 1:

^EmTen years ago on ^DHogsback Mountain ^CThe flames was roaring like a ^Dlion in a fountain ^EmThe trees were burning, ^Dtoo many to count 'em ^CAnd trapped in the middle with ^Dfire all around him, was a ^Emman...

^EmFlanagan and I was out ^Dcamping that day ^CWe started our fire with ^Dturpentine and hay ^EmThe wind was howlin' so I ^Dguess we should have known ^CThat the flames was gonna get ^Dblown across the ^Emland...

Chorus Verse 2:

^EmTwo days later when the ^Dfire died out ^CFlanagan and I went ^Drootin' about For to ^Emfind a little dinner of ^Droasted critter, ^CBlackened blackbird ^Deggs and pine-cone ^Emfritters...

^EmThat was how we happened on the ^Dbadly burned man He was ^Cyelpin' for help and so we ^Deach grabbed a hand ^EmThinking we'd be heroes if we ^Ddragged him back home, ^CWe pulled, but pulled the ^Dflesh right offa the ^Embone...

Chorus Verse 3:

Now of ^Emall the mad people, that ^Dguy was the maddest ^CHe pulled a bone across his throat and ^Dpointed right at us ^EmTen years on the run from that ^Dskeletal man ^CHe's sworn his revenge, ^Dwe've heard his sinister ^Emplan...:

He'll ^Emstring us up by our hands and ^Dlift us over a vat ^CAnd dip us up to our elbows ^Din boiling fat ^EmIt's like an eye for an eye, but ^Dninety-nine times worse ^CHe wants to do to us what we did to h^Dim, Except in ^Emreverse...
