[Verse 1] [G] I was working in the lab late one night, When my [Em] eyes beheld an eerie sight. For my [C] monster from his slab began to rise, And [D] suddenly to my surprise.
[Chorus] He did the [G] mash, he did the monster mash. The monster [Em] mash, it was a graveyard smash. He did the [C] mash, it caught on in a flash. He did the [D] mash, he did the monster mash.
[Verse 2] From my [G] laboratory in the castle east, To the [Em] master bedroom where the vampires feast. The [C] ghouls all came from their humble abodes, To [D] catch a jolt from my electrodes.
[Chorus] He did the [G] mash, he did the monster mash. The monster [Em] mash, it was a graveyard smash. He did the [C] mash, it caught on in a flash. He did the [D] mash, he did the monster mash.
[Chorus 2] The [C] zombies were having fun..The [D] party had just begun. The [C] guests included Wolf Man.. [D] Dracula and his son.
[Verse 3] The [G] scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds, [Em] Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds. The [C] Coffin-Bangers were about to arrive, With their [D] vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five."
[Chorus] He did the [G] mash, he did the monster mash. The monster [Em] mash, it was a graveyard smash. He did the [C] mash, it caught on in a flash. He did the [D] mash, he did the monster mash.
[Verse 4] [G] Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring. [Em] Seems he was troubled by just one thing. He [C] opened the lid and shook his fist, And [D] said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvanian Twist?"
[Chorus] It's now the [G] mash..It's now the monster mash. The monster [Em] mash..and it's a graveyard smash. It's now the [C] mash..It caught on in a flash. It's now the [D] mash..It's now the monster mash.
[Verse 5] Now [G] everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band, And my [Em] monster mash is the hit of the land. For [C] you, the living, this mash was meant too, When [D] you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you.
[Chorus] X2 Then you can [G] mash..then you can monster mash. The monster [Em] mash..And do my graveyard smash. Then you can [C] mash..You'll catch on in a flash, Then you can [D] mash..Then you can monster mash.
[Verse 1] [E] What would you [B] think if I [F#m] sang out of tune, Would you [F#m] stand up and [B] walk out on [E] me. [E] Lend me your [B] ears and I'll [F#m] sing you a song, And I'll t [F#m] ry not to [B] sing out of [E] key.
[Chorus] Oh, I get [D] by with a little [A] help from my [E] friends, Hmm, I get high with a little [A] help from my [E] friends, Hmm, gonna [D] try with a little [A] help from my [E] friends.
[B] (break + drum fill)
[Verse 2] [E] What do I [B] do when my l [F#m] love is away. (Does it [B] worry you to be a [E] lone) [E] How do I [B] feel by the [F#m] end of the day (Are you [B] sad because you're on your [E] own)
[Chorus] Oh, I get [D] by with a little [A] help from my [E] friends, Hmm, I get high with a little [A] help from my [E] friends, Hmm, gonna [D] try with a little [A] help from my [E] friends.
[Bridge] Do you [C#m] need any [F#] body, I [E] need some [D] body to [A] love. Could it [C#m] be any [F#] body I [E] want some [D] body to [A] love.
[Verse 3] [E] Would you [B] believe in a [F#m] love at first sight, (Yes I'm [F#m] certain that it [B] happens all the [E] time.) [E] What do you [B] see when you [F#m] turn out the light, (I can't [F#m] tell you, but I [B] know it's [E] mine.)
[Chorus] Oh, I get [D] by with a little [A] help from my [E] friends, Hmm, I get high with a little [A] help from my [E] friends, Hmm, gonna [D] try with a little [A] help from my [E] friends.
[Bridge 2] Do you [C#m] need any [F#] body, I just [E] need some [D] one to [A] love, Could it [C#m] be any [F#] body, I [E] want some [D] body to [A] love.
[Chorus] Oh, I get [D] by with a little [A] help from my [E] friends, Hmm, gonna [D] try with a little [A] help from my [E] friends. Hmm, I get [D] high with a little [A] help from my [E] friends,
