Biography:
Horrible Histories first began as a book series, written by Terry Deary. Then, in 2009, it was decided that it was to be made a children's comedy, historical sketch show. In 2011, the show had become very successful and has won many awards, such as Best Sketch Show at the BAFTAs. Series 4 began in April 2012, and the writers have already started writing series 5. The stars of the show feature Mathew Baynton (Gavin & Stacey), Ben Willbond, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard, as well as many others.

[Intro]
Em A Em A D
[Verse 1]
Em A Em A
I'm Pachacuti, the Incan lord
D A D A
All other tribes dreaded
Em A Em A
My name means 'he who shakes the earth'
D
Not that I'm big-headed
[Verse 2]
Em A Em A
When it comes to claiming nearby lands
D A D A
I was the type to risk it
Em A Em A
But it's how I treat dead enemies
D
That really took the biscuit
[Chorus]
Em A Em A
I drink from their skull(Do the Pachacuti!)
D A D A
Pull out their teeth whole(Do the Pachacuti!)
Em A Em A
Turn teeth into charms(Do the Pachacuti!)
D
Make flutes out of their arms(Pachacuti!)
[Instrumental]
Em A Em A D
[Verse 3]
Em A Em A
Once on a hillside, my troops hid
D A D A
To cause a rival strife
Em A Em A
And when they jumped out, it looked like
D
The ground had come to life
[Verse 4]
Em A Em A
The rocks they are my warriors
D A D A
I then used to boast
Em A Em A
And that little lie helped us win wars
D
But violence helped the most
[Chorus]
Em A Em A
I drink from their skull(Do the Pachacuti!)
D A D A
Pull out their teeth whole(Do the Pachacuti!)
Em A Em A
Turn teeth into charms(Do the Pachacuti!)
D
Make flutes out of their arms(Pachacuti!)
[Bridge]
Em A
If you were a rival chief
F#m Bm
We'd kill you fast and then
Em A
We'd stuff you like a scarecrow
D
But one for scaring men
[Verse 5]
Em A Em A
Then we'd rest your bony fingers on
D A D A
The stretched skin of your belly
Em A Em A
And in the breeze, they'd tap that tum
D
Like a drummer, but more smelly!
[Chorus]
Em A Em A
I drink from their skull(Do the Pachacuti!)
D A D A
Pull out their teeth whole(Do the Pachacuti!)
Em A Em A
Use their skin as a drum(Do the Pachacuti!)
D
I've never had so much fun!(Pachacuti!)
