Jon Krause - Crashed Mummy Cifras

[Verse 1]
E
Flying through time and space,
        A
Finally free to be immortal,
           E
He was the king of men,
                   B
But he's been on a bad streak of luck since then,
               E
I'll try to remember,
             A
That story I heard,
                  E        B
I just hope I can sing it,
                   E
I wanna spread the word,
  E                                        A
I guess they say it's best to start at the start,
                                 E
Could be true, I don't know that part,
                       B
Or I do and it doesn't rhyme,
 
Maybe I'll make it next time,
    E                            A
For now i'll let you know what I know,
                                 E
And when it's my time to go I'll go,
             B
I got what I got,
                            E
And you'll hear what you're here for,
 
[Verse 2]
E
Ramses II or IV....? or III
    A
Was murdered while he slept,
                 E
But luckily they kept him,
    B
And made him a mummy
             E
So he got to go,
                    A
To wherever-it-is although,
 
He did not prepare,
   E              B
He had to ask for directions somewhere
 E
along the way,
 
[Verse 3]
               E
And the guy he asked,
          A
Had a fantastic
 
Sense of humor,
                E
He sent him to LA,
                        B
And that would've been ok,
                                       E
But my man was tired and he missed his wife,
                              A
He just wanted to get to the afterlife,
      E
So he gave it up,
    B                    E
And crashed into the sea,
 
[Verse 4]
     E
Now, I got no clue,
 
How or why,
     A
They kept him alive,
 
I guess something to do,
         E
With his mummified remains,
          B
He could deal with the aches and the pains,
               E
But he didn't expect to wake up and be in,
           A
For such a rude awakenin',
   E                  B                 E
It seemed the whole city had it out for him,
 
[Verse 3]
        E
You see history had not been kind,
   A
To Ancient Egypt, he would find,
    E
And probably rightfully so,
       B                                  E
They enslaved a ton of people, you know,
                                  A
But those silly tombs were not on him,
 
He said, he'd advocated against them,
E                 B              E
Too many times to try to tell it all today,
 
[Verse 4]
             E
And anyway,
 
The people his father forced,
   A
To build those fucking pyramids, of course,
     E
They ran the city now,
         B
And they meant to make him bow,
   E
He couldn't leave,
 
He had to stay,
      A                             E  B
So he learned to put his ego away,
                 E
And just sit and listen,
 
[Verse 5]
                 E
And he learned a lot,
                           A
But maaaaaaan they really got to him,
                      E
Maaaaaaaan he really thought,
                                B
They'd keep him there for eternity,
             E
He wondered how long would it take,
          A
To bust a wall so full of hate,
           E
But as he wondered,
   B                  E
A plan snuck into his mind,
 
[Verse 6]
E                               A
Shortly after that he was on an airplane,
                E
Flying over the Nile,
 
The view was insane,
                   B
He hadn't seen his home in a while,
        E
And the job he'd agreed to do,
               A
Had gotten easier,
                            E
Since whenever-thousand-two,
          B                        E
They just wanted him there for the optics,
 
[Verse 7]
      E
As he watched those wonders fall,
                   A
He wished he could give his dad a call,
     E                                     B
The afterlife, it just suddenly seemed so small,
 
And far away and pointless,
E
He'd been blessed,
              A
With another life he guessed,
                       E
A chance to redeem the people of egypt,
    B                        E
For treating other people as objects,
 
[Verse 8]
      E
So he put on a shirt and tie,
               A
Even though he didn't really get the why,
                    E
He just knew if he kept wearing TP,
                          B
He might as well not even try,
 
to make any friends,
              E
And he'd been friendless for far too long,
            A
He'd got to so right from so so wrong,
            E
And there's more to the story,
        B                           E
But I'm savin' it for the next song
