[Bm] [D] [A]
[C] [D] [E]
Let [D] me tell you a story [C] to chill the bones about [D] a thing that [E] I saw One [D] night
Wandering in [A] the [C] Everglades
[D] I'd one drink [E] but no more
[D] I was rambling enjoying [C] the bright moonlight
[D] Gazing up [E] the stars
Not [D]
aware of a presence [A] so near to [C] me [D] watching my [E] every move
[Bm] Fiddling stared [D] and I fell to [C] my knees
Something [D] rushed me from [Em] the trees
Took [D] me to an [A] unholy place
[C] That is [D] where I fell [E] from grace
And they [D] summoned me over [C] to join in with them to [D] the dance of [Em] the dead
Into the [D] circle of fire I [A] followed [C] them into [D] the middle I [Em] was led
[E]
As [Bm] if [G] time [D] had stopped still [A] I was numb with fear, [C] but still [D] I
wanted [E] to do
[Bm] And
[E] [G] the blaze [D] of the fire did [A] no hurt upon [C] me
[D] As I walked on [E] to the tolls
[Bm] Felt [D] I [A] was in a trance [C] and my spirit was [D] lifted [E] from me
and [Bm] if only
[Em] [D] Someone had [A] a chance [C] to witness [D] what happened [E] to me
[Bm]
[D] I scratched and [A] I stomped [C]
[D] [E] my knees
[Bm]
[D] They [Em] were [A] on [C] deck
They had [D] us in there [Em] from head

[G] When the dead man breathing [Am] spirit [D] was laughing [G] and [E] howling down at me
[D] [G] [D]
[E] [C] [E]
Until the [D] time came [G] to weave you down [D] as one must be
[E] Came back down to me
And didn't [F#m] know [G] I was [A] alive against [D] the [G] evil
[E] Ones on hand was [C] me
[Em] [F#]
[Em] [E] [F#]
[Em] [G]
[E] But the dead man was dead
And the skull he [F#] started could be a picture [A] of me
But as the [E] day came for me [F#] was the moment
I [A] [G]
realized that I was [Bm] moving
But behind that midnight [Em] glass
I think that I did [D] not just [Em] die

But [D] I'll never go dancing [A] no more
[C] Till [D] I dance [Em] with the dead
