Zombie - The Cranberries

"Zombie" es el primer sencillo del segundo álbum de estudio, No Need to Argue, del grupo irlandés The Cranberries, publicado el 14 de septiembre de 1994.

La letra, en tono de protesta, habla sobre el conflicto de Irlanda del Norte, desde el Alzamiento de Pascua de 1916. La canción fue creada como protesta por el atentado perpetrado por la banda terrorista IRA en la ciudad británica de Warrington en 1993, en el que murieron dos niños.

Em         C

  Another head hangs lowly

G                 D

Child is slowly taken

Em                  C

  And the violence caused such silence

G              D

Who are we mistaken

         Em

but you see, it's not me

          C

it's not my family

          G

in your head, in your head

            D

they are fighting

            Em

With their tanks, and their bombs,

            C

and their bombs, and their guns

         G                            D

In your head, in your head they are cryin'

CHORUS:

         Em             C

In your head, In your head

     G               D

Zombie, zombie, zombie êh êh

                Em            C

What's in your head, in your head

     G              D

Zombie, zombie, zombie êh êh êh ôh

         Em             C

Another mother's breakin'

     G               D

heart is taking over

         Em             C

when the violence causes such silence

     G               D

we must be mistaken

         Em             C

it's the same old theme since 1916

     G               D

in your head,

         Em             C

in your head they're still fightin'

CHORUS:

         Em             C

In your head, In your head

     G               D

Zombie, zombie, zombie êh êh

                Em            C

What's in your head, in your head

     G             D

Zombie, zombie, zombie êh êh êh ôh

     G               D

With their tanks and their bombs

         Em             C

And their bombs and their guns

     G               D

In your head, in your head they are dying
