 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

As I danced with the dead

RE
My free spirit was laughing 
            
MIm
and howling down at me
           
RE/FA# 
SOL
Below my undead   body

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

As the others all joined in with me

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
