VERSE:
Em                            A
   Now you're heading down to get someone,

   Should've done what he had to do years ago
                A
The position is coming through,
Em                            C
   All the people that you're standing on,
Em                            A
   All the people that you're standing on.

   Now you're heading down to be someone,
Em                     A
   Someone that you've seen in a magazine.
Em                     C
   Your premonition is coming true,
Em                 A
   Oh baby, you're not so green,

   Oh baby, you're not so green

   Oh baby, you're nutso.

Sister Madly waking up the dead,
     Am7       D7             G    Bm
Systematically stepping on my head

VERSE:
Now you're heading down to find something,
Something that you buried in your back yard.
The position is coming through,
From all the dirt that you're digging up,
All the dirt that you're digging up.
Now you're heading down to be somewhere,
Somewhere you imagined in your wildest dream
The opposition is coming through,
From all the people that you're standing on,
From all the people that you're standing on,
And now you'd better take a firm hand.


CHORUS: 
Sister Madly waking up the dead,
Systematically stepping on my head.
You’re Sister Madly waking up the dead,
Systematically stepping on my head.
