No brains for the road

Lyrics

A |–0–x–5–0–x–3–5–5–|–0–x–5–0–x–7–5–3–| E |------------------|------------------|Verse 1 Shuffle down Main Street, midnight glow, Got a twitch in my step and an undead flow. Neighbor’s yellin’, “Man, where’d your manners go?” I said, “Brains on the menu and I’m ready to show!” ⸻ Pre-Chorus Don’t run, don’t hide, don’t lock that door, We’re just here for a nibble and a dance floor! ⸻ Chorus 🎶 Zombies can never take a no! They hear the funk and lose control! 🎶 Zombies can never take a no! They got rhythm in their bones, oh! ⸻ Verse 2 Granny on the porch with a shotgun grin, But she’s tappin’ her foot to that funky spin. Brains in the bowl, but she saved me a bite, Said, “Boy, you play bass, you can jam all night!” ⸻ Chorus 🎶 Zombies can never take a no! They crash the groove where the bass lines go! 🎶 Zombies can never take a no! They shake that grave dust head-to-toe! ⸻ Bridge – jam section (open solo) (A7 funk vamp) Guitar and keys trade 8-bar licks, drummer drops to half-time, crowd chants: “No! No! No! No!” while the band answers “Brains!” ⸻ Verse 3 Sun creepin’ up, but we still alive, Got grave dirt groove and a caffeine drive. If the world’s gone weird, just let it flow, ‘Cause the dead love disco and the bass says so! ⸻ Final Chorus 🎶 Zombies can never take a no! They funk too hard, they steal the show! 🎶 Zombies can never take a no! So grab a brain-shake and let’s all go! ⸻ Outro – extended jam Bass slap riff fades with crowd clapping in 7/8 tease → back to 4/4, organ gliss → final shout: “Brains! Brains! Brains!”
