PET SEMATARY by Ramones (from the Brain Drain album)

Tabbed by Ivo (efei@eu.ansp.br)

As it happens with any Ramones' tune, it's very very simple. Anyway, I think
this tab can be useful to someone out there.

There may be details missing but if you listen to the song you'll figure them
out quite quickly.

The part below is played for the intro and for all the verses.

INTRO

B|-----3----------1-----|-----1----------------------------------------|
G|-------------0-----0--|----------------------------------------------|
D|--0-----0-2-----------|--3-------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------|----------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------|----------------------------------------------|


For the part below I'm only indicating the chords. Pick the CD and follow
the beat. This part repeats with different lyrics in all verses.

C5 D5
And the night when the cold wind blows

C5 D5 Bb5 C
No one cares No-body knows


For the chorus below you just have to follow the beat as well.


Dm F C Bb
I don't wanna be buried In a pet sematary

Dm C Bb C
I don't want to live my life again


Here's the solo (It seems to me there's a slight synth doubling the
guitar. Am I right?)
I'm also tabbing the rythm behind the solo in case you have a buddy
playing along with a second guitar.

Finally the Lyrics

Under the arc of a weather stain boards
Ancient goblins, and warlords
Come out of the ground, not making a sound
The smell of death is all around.

And the night when the cold wind blows
No one cares, nobody knows

I don't wanna be buried
In a pet sematary
I don't want to live my life again

Follow Victor to the sacred place
This ain't a dream, I can't scape
Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones
Spirits moaning among the tombstones

And the night, when the moon is bright
Someone cries, something ain't right

The moon is full, the air is still
All of a sudden I feel a chill
Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away
Skeletons dance, I curse this day

And the night, when the wolves cry out
Listen close and you can hear me shout
