Accordi Dance of Death

Intro:
MIm  RE/FA#  RE  DO     RE  MIm

MIm  RE/FA#  RE  DO     RE  MIm

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

MIm            RE/FA#    SOL            LA5 
 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

MIm    SOL DO    SOL RE    SOL MIm

            MIm

When you're lying in your sleep, 
 
when you're lying in your bed
        RE/FA#
And you wake from your dreams 
                       MIm
to go dancing with the dead

When you're lying in your sleep, 

when you're lying in your bed
        RE/FA#
And you wake from your dreams 
                       MIm     RE/FA# MIm

to go dancing with the dead

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

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

SOL MIm    RE MIm    

RE/FA#  RE  DO     RE MIm

MIm  RE/FA#  RE  LA  DO  RE  MIm

        RE/FA#      RE         DO

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
