Em C G D/F#

Em         C
  Another head hangs lowly,
  G               D/F#
Child is slowly taken
Em                 C
 And the violence caused such silence,
  G           D/F#
Who are we mistaken

        Em                         C
But you see it's not me, it's not my family
         G                               D/F#
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
            Em
With their tanks and their bombs
           C
And their bombs and their guns
         G                              D/F#
In your head, in your head, they are crying

Chorus:
         Em
In your head,
         C        G              D/F#
In your head, zombie, zombie, zombie
                Em
What's in your head,
         C        G              D/F#
In your head, zombie, zombie, zombie

Em C G D/F#

Em         C
  Another mother's breakin'
 G                D/F#
Heart is takin' over
Em                  C
 When the violence causes silence
 G               D/F#
We must be mistaken

         Em                     C
It's the same old theme, since 1916
         G
In your head, in your head,
                  D/F#
They're still fightin'
           Em
With their tanks and their bombs
           C
And their bombs and their guns
         G                             D/F#
In your head, in your head, they are dyin'

Chorus:
         Em
In your head,
         C        G              D/F#
In your head, zombie, zombie, zombie
                Em
What's in your head,
         C        G              D/F#
In your head, zombie, zombie, zombie

Em C G D/F#
