MIm  RE/FA#  RE  LA  DO  RE  MIm

MIm     RE/FA#     RE       DO
 Let me tell you a story to chill the bones
        RE           MIm
About a thing that I saw
          RE/FA#    RE     LA      DO
One night wandering in the Everglades
        RE           MIm
I'd one drink but no more
      RE/FA#      RE         DO
I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight
       RE        MIm
Gazing up at the stars
     RE/FA#    RE          LA
Not aware of a presence so near to me
DO        RE       MIm
 Watching my every move
        RE/FA#       RE         DO
Feeling scared and I fell to my knees
                    RE          MIm
As something rushed me from the trees
        RE/FA#  LA
Took me to an unholy place
    DO            RE          MIm
And that is where I fell from grace
          RE/FA#      RE      DO
Then they summoned me over to join in with them
       RE           MIm
To the dance of the dead
         RE/FA#    RE     LA    
Into the circle of fire I followed them
DO       RE           MIm
Into the middle I was led

MIm    RE/FA#           RE          LA
 As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear
    DO      RE        MIm
But still I wanted to go
        RE/FA#       RE          LA
And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me
DO    RE              MIm
 As I walked onto the coals
      RE/FA# RE         LA
And I felt   I was in a trance
       DO         RE          MIm
And my spirit was lifted from me
       RE/FA# RE              LA
And if only   someone had the chance
   DO           RE          MIm
To witness what happened to me
      RE/FA#        RE
And I danced, and I pranced, 
      LA
and I sang with them
DO      RE             MIm       
All had death in their eyes
         RE/FA#
Lifeless figures  
RE               LA    
They were undead all of them
DO        RE           MIm
They had ascended from hell

MIm     RE/FA#  MIm      RE/FA#  MIm

RE/FA#  MIm      RE/FA#  MIm      RE/FA#  MIm

RE/FA#  MIm      

            RE/FA#   SOL
As I danced with the dead
            LA5    RE
My free spirit was laughing 
            MIm
and howling down at me
           RE/FA# SOL
Below my undead   body
LA5  RE                   MIm    DO SI5 MIm
Just danced the circle of dead
               RE/FA#  SOL        LA5
Until the time came to reunite us both
   RE               MIm       
My spirit came back down to me
            RE/FA# SOL               LA5
I didn't know      if I was alive or dead
   RE             MIm               DO SI5
As the others all joined in with me

MIm     RE/FA#  MIm      RE/FA#  MIm

RE/FA#  MIm      RE/FA#  MIm

      
By luck then a skirmish started
    RE/FA#                       MIm
And took the attention away from me
                     
When they took their gaze from me
        RE/FA#             MIm
Was the moment that I fled
                                 RE/FA# 
I ran like hell, faster than the wind
                     MIm
But behind I did not glance
                      
One thing that I did not dare
       RE/FA#                 
Was to look just straight ahead

MIm   RE/FA# SOL   LA5 RE    MIm 

MIm   RE/FA# SOL   LA5 RE    MIm    DO SI5

MIm   RE/FA# SOL   LA5 RE    MIm

 When you know that your time has come around
    RE                  MIm             
You know you'll be prepared for it
              RE/FA# SOL          LA5
Say your last good---byes to everyone
       RE              MIm            DO SI5
Have a drink and say a prayer for it

When you're lying in your sleep, 
 
when you're lying in your bed

And you wake from your dreams 
                       MIm
to go dancing with the dead

When you're lying in your sleep,

To this day I guess I'll never know
         RE          MIm
Just why they let me go
         RE/FA#   RE         LA
But I'll never go dancing no more
DO      RE             MIm
 'Til I dance with the dead
