Chord dan Lirik 'Zombie' oleh The Cranberries

Jakarta -

'Zombie' adalah lagu dari band rock The Cranberries. Lagu ini dirilis pada September 1994 dan diciptakan oleh sang vokalis, Dolores O'Riordan. 'Zombie' merupakan single utama dari album kedua mereka yang bertajuk, 'No Need To Argue'.

Lagu ini diciptakan akibat pengeboman yang mengakibatkan kematian dua orang anak. Dolores mengatakan bahwa kejadian ini memberikannya inspirasi membuat lagu 'Zombie'.

"Ada banyak bom yang meledak di London dan saya ingat seorang anak terbunuh ketika sebuah bom diletakkan di tempat sampah. Kami berada di bus wisata dan saya berada di dekat lokasi di mana hal itu terjadi. Jadi itu sangat mengejutkan saya - saya masih sangat muda, tetapi saya ingat sangat sedih melihat anak-anak yang tidak bersalah dilibatkan ke dalam hal semacam itu. Jadi saya kira itulah sebabnya saya mengatakan, 'Ini bukan saya' - bahwa meskipun saya orang Irlandia, itu bukan saya, saya tidak melakukannya. Karena menjadi orang Irlandia, itu cukup sulit, terutama di Inggris ketika ada begitu banyak ketegangan," ujar Dolores dikutip dari Songwriting Magazine.

Berikut chord dan lirik 'Zombie' dari The Cranberries menurut Tabs Ultimate Guitar:

[Intro]
Em C G D/F# 4x

[Verse 1]
Em C G D/F#
Another head hangs lowly, child is slowly taken
Em C G D/F#
And the violence caused such silence, who are we mistaken
Em C
But you see it's not me, it's not my family
G D/F#
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
Em C
With their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns
G D/F#
in your head, in your head, they are crying

[Chorus 1]
Em C G D/F#
In your head, in your head, zombie, zombie, zombie
Em C G D/F#
What's in your head, in your head, zombie, zombie, zombie

Em C G D/F# x2

[Verse 2]
Em C G D/F#
Another mother's breaking heart is taking over
Em C G D/F#
When the violence causes silence, we must be mistaken
Em C
It's the same old theme since 1916
G D/F#
In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
Em C
With their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns
G D/F#
In your head, in your head, they're dying

[Chorus 2]
Em C G D/F#
In your head, in your head, zombie, zombie, zombie
Em C G D/F#
What's in your head, in your head, zombie, zombie, zombie

[Outro]
Em C G D/F#
