[Verse 1]
Let [E]me [D]tell you a story to [C]chill the bones
About a [D]thing that I [E]saw
One [Em]night [D]wandering in the [A]everglades
[C]I'd one dri[D]nk but no more
[E]

[Verse 2]
[Em]I was ra[D]mbling,
enjoying the [C]bright moonlight
Gazing [D]up at [Em]the stars[E]
Not [Em]aware [D]of a presence
so [A]near to [C]me
Watching [D]my every move
[Em][E]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Feeling [D]scared and I fell to
my [C]knees
As something rushed [D]me
from [Em]the trees
Took me [D]to an unholy [A]place
And [C]that is where [D]I fell
from grace
[Em][E]

[Verse 4]
[Em]
Then they [D]summoned me
over to [C]join in with them
To the [D]dance of the [Em]dead
[E]In [Em]to th[D]e circle of fire,
I fol[A]lowed them
[C]Into [D]the middle, I was [Em]led

[Verse 5]
[Em]
As if [D]time [Em]had stopped s[D]till I
was [A]numb with fear
[C]But still, I [D]wanted to [Em]go[D][Em]
And [G]the blaze [Em]of the f[D]ire
did no [A]hurt upon [C]me
As I [D]walked onto the coals
[E][D]

[Verse 6]
[Em]
And [G]I felt [D]I was in a t[A]rance
And my spir[C]it was [D]lifted from [Em]me[E]
[Em]And [D]if only [Em]someo[D]ne
had the [A]chance
To wit[C]ness what [D]happened to me
[E]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
And I [D]danced [Em]an d I pr[D]anced
and I [A]sang with them
[C]All had [D]death [Em]in their eyes
Lifeless [G]figures [D]they
were undead [A]all of them
[C]They had as[D]cended from [Em]hell

[F#m][D][Em][F#m][D][Em]
[F#m][D][A][Em]
As I danced [D]with the dead

[Verse 8]
[G]
My free spir[A]it was [D]laughing
and howling [Em]down at [A]me
[Em]Below my undead [D]body[G]
[A]Just [D]danced the circle of [Em]dead[C]

[Verse 9]
[Em]Until the time came to
[G]reunite us [A]both
[D]My spirit came back [Em]down to [D]me
[Em]I didn't know [D]if[G]
I was alive or [A]dead
As the [D]others, all joined [Em]in with me[C]

[Interlude 2]

[D][Em][F#m][Em]
[F#m][D][Em][D][F#m][D][Em]

[Verse 10]
By luck then a skirmish started [F#m]And
took the attention [D]away from [Em]me
When they took their gaze from me
Was the [F#m]moment that I [D]fled[Em]

[Verse 11]
I ran like hell faster than the [F#m]wind
But behind I [D]did not [Em]glance
One thing that I did not dare
Was to [F#m]look just straight a[D]head[Em]

[A]You kno[D]w you'll be prepar[Em]ed for it[D]

[Verse 13]
When you're lying in your sleep,
when you're lying in your bed
And you [F#m]wake from your dreams to go
[D]dancing with the [Em]dead
When you're lying in your sleep,
when you're lying in your bed
And you [F#m]wake from your dreams to go d[D]ancing with the d[Em]ead

[Verse 14]
this [D]day I guess I'll never [C]know
Just why [D]they let me [Em]go
But I'll [D]never go dancing no [A]more[C]
'Til I [D]dance with the [Em]dead
