Zombie Guitar Chords by The Cranberries is one of the most powerful protest songs in alternative rock history. Written by Dolores O’Riordan, this iconic track was released in September 1994 as the lead single from the album No Need to Argue. The song serves as a heartfelt response to the 1993 IRA bombing in Warrington, England, and pays tribute to the two young victims, Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry.
Zombie Guitar Chords
[Intro]
Em Cmaj7 G6 D/F# (x4)
[Verse 1]
Em Cmaj7
Another head hangs lowly,
G6 D/F#
child is slowly taken
Em Cmaj7
And the violence caused such silence,
G6 D/F#
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/F#
they are fighting
Em
With their tanks and their bombs
C
And their bombs and their guns
G D/F#
in your head, in your head, they are crying
[Chorus 1]
Em C
In your head, in your head,
G D Dsus4 D
zombie, zombie, zombie
Em C
What’s in your head, in your head,
G D Dsus4 D
zombie, zombie, zombie
[Instrumental]
Em Cmaj7 G6 D/F# (x2)
[Verse 2]
Em Cmaj7
Another mother’s
G6 D/F#
breaking heart is taking over
Em Cmaj7
When the violence causes silence,
G6 D/F#
we must be mistaken
Em C
It’s the same old theme since 1916
G
In your head, in your head,
D/F#
they’re still fighting
Em
With their tanks and their bombs
C
And their bombs and their guns
G
In your head,
D/F#
in your head, they’re dying
[Chorus 2]
Em C
In your head, in your head,
G D Dsus4 D
zombie, zombie, zombie
Em
What’s in your head,
C G
in your head, zombie,
D Dsus4 D
zombie, zombie
[Outro]
Em Cmaj7 G6 D/F#
