[Verse 1]
E5 G5 D5
Let me tell you a story
C5
to chill the bones
D5 E5
About a thing that I saw
G5 D5
One night wandering in
A5
the Everglades
C5 D5 E5
I'd one drink but no more
G5 D5
I was rambling, enjoying
C5
the bright moonlight
D5 E5
Gazing up at the stars
G5 D5
Not aware of a presence
A5
so near to me
C5 D5 E5
Watching my every move
[Verse 2]
G5
Feeling scared and
D5 C5
I fell to my knees
D5
As something rushed me
E5
from the trees
G5 D5 A5
Took me to an unholy place
C5 D5
And that is where I fell
E5
from grace
G5 D5
Then they summoned me over
C5
to join in with them
D5 E5
To the dance of the dead
G5 D5
Into the circle of fire
A5
I followed them
C5 D5 Em
Into the middle I was led
[Verse 3]
G6 D6sus2
As if time had stopped still
Asus2
I was numb with fear
Cmaj7 D6sus2 Em
But still I wanted to go
G6 D6sus2
And the blaze of the fire did
Asus2
no hurt upon me
Cmaj7 D6sus2 Em
As I walked onto the coals
G6 D6sus2 Asus2
And I felt I was in a trance
Cmaj7 D6sus2 Em
And my spirit was lifted from me
G6 D6sus2
And if only someone
Asus2
had the chance
Cmaj7 D6sus2 Em
To witness what happened to me

G6 D6sus2
And I danced, and I pranced,
Asus2
and I sang with them
Cmaj7 D6sus2 Em
All had death in their eyes
G6 D6sus2
Lifeless figures - they were
Asus2
undead - all of them
Cmaj7 D6sus2 Em
They had ascended from hell
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
E5 F#5 G5
As I danced with the dead
A5 D5
My free spirit was laughing
G5 E5
and howling down at me
F#5 G5
Below my undead body
A5 D5 G5 E5
Just danced the circle of dead
C5 B5
E5 F#5
Until the time came
G5 A5
to reunite us both
D5 G5 E5
My spirit came back down to me
F#5 G5 A5
I didn't know if I was alive or dead
D5 G5 E5
As the others all joined in with me
[Instrumental]
|Em |Em |Em |Em |
[Verse 5]
Em
By luck then a skirmish started
Em
And took the attention away from me
Em
When they took their gaze from me
Em
Was the moment that I fled
Em
I ran like hell, faster than the wind
Em
But behind I did not glance
Em
One thing that I did not dare
Em
Was to look just straight ahead
[Instrumental]

When you know that your time
` A5
has come around

Em
When you're lying in your sleep,
when you're lying in your bed
Em
And you wake from your dreams to
go dancing with the dead
Em
When you're lying in your sleep,
when you're lying in your bed
Em
And you wake from your dreams to
go dancing with the dead
[Instrumental]

E5 G5 D5 C5
To this day I guess I'll never know
D5 E5
Just why they let me go
G5 D5 A5
But I'll never go dancing no more
C5 D5 Em
'Til I dance with the dead
