For those who don`t know, this is a a-capella song and Rockapella don`t
use instruments, only their voices. So I heard the Do-it-a-capella album
and tried to get the chords. The mode is exactly the same that
Rockapella used. Enjoy it!


Title:  Zombie Jamboree
Artist: Rockapella
                               ***************
                          Conrad Eugene Mauge, Jr.
                       (3rd verse lyric by Sean Altman)
              Arrangement: Sean Altman, David Yazbek & Bill Straus
                            Lead Vocal: Sean Altman


Verse:
               A
 It was a zombie jamboree
                             E                      A
 Took place in the New York cemetery

 Oh, it was a zombie jamboree
                             E                              A
 Took place in the New York cemetery.

                             D                             A
 Zombies from all parts of the island
                               E                           A
 Some of them are great Calypsonians
                   D                             A
 Since the season was carnival
                    E                             A
 They got together in bacchanal

 And they were singing


 Chorus

D                              A
    Back to back, mon, belly to belly
     E                                            A
 I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already
D                           A
    Oh, back to back, belly to belly
             E                         A
 It's a zombie jamboree.


 Verse:

 One female zombie she wouldn't behave
 See how's she's dancing out of the grave
 In one hand she's holding a quart of rum
 The other hand is knocking a conga drum.

 You know the lead singer starts to make his rhyme
 While the other zombie is rockin' in time
 One bystander, he had this to say:
 "It was a trip to see the zombies break away."
 SHAH! And they were singing:

 (Repeat chorus twice)

A
 Back to back! Everyone we sing back to back

 And belly to belly then back to back
                                E
 One two three four     Hey


Verse:

 What a zombie jamboree
 From Times Square to the Statue of Liberty
 Uptown, downtown zombie jamboree
 Whoa whoa whoa, yeah yeah

 There's a high-wire zombie 'tween the World Trades
 A King Kong zombie on the Empire State
 But the biggest zombies Tokyo to Rome
 The zombies who call the city home.
 (Hah! What they do! Huh!)

 (Repeat chorus to fade)
