This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse:

E5 A5 C#5

Under the island... middle of a mountain

E5 A5

There is a big bad... boomin' system

C#5 E5

Blowin' speakers, woofers and tweeters

A5 C#5

Amplifiers... melted wires

E5 A5

The party exploded.. the core is corroded

C#5 E5

Under ground... the Puget Sound

A5 C#5

Cause a shiftin'... and a driftin'

E5 A5

Big black boom box... stuck in the hot rock

C#5 E5

It's in there flowin'... it's in there growin'

A5 C#5

You don't believe me... that this scenery

E5

Could be a... cold blooded killer

Chorus:

Guitar 1

G5 A

It's gonna blow woa woa woa.... Volcano

Then go to the intro

This verse is the same as the first but with a semi-clean guitar

Now the island is shiftin'... the plates are liftin

The core is creamy... docile and dreamy

Stopped up and steamy

Happy campers... poop in their pampers

When a mountain... become a fountain

Of white hot lave... molten magma

Super sonic... plate tectonics

Stereo phonic... lava and tonic

The boom is bionic

Sony shut down... magnavox meltdown

Ballistic breakdown

Hi-fi heatwave... lo-fi lava cave

That sulfur smell is... Mt. St. Helens

Pompeii was yellin'...

play Chorus 4 times
