(Single Strum)
When I [E]die
I don't want to rest in peace
I want to dance in [E]joy
I want to dance in the [B/F#]graveyards, the graveyards
And [E]while I'm alive
I don't want to be alone
Mourning the ones who [E]came before
I want to dance with [B/F#]them some more
E (Into Strumming)
Let's dance in the graveyards
G[E]loria, like some other name we kept on [E]calling ya and waiting for change
B/F# B/F# A/E E B/F# A/E E (<-- Quick Succession)
But I belong to all of your mysteries
And a[E]ll of us, we're meant for the fire, but we keep [E]rising up and walking the wires
So [B/F#]when we go below don't lose us in mourn[B/F#]ing[A/E][E][B/F#][A/E][E]
'Cause when I [E]die
I don't want to rest in peace
I want to dance in [E]joy
I want to dance in the [B/F#]graveyards, the graveyards
And [E]while I'm alive
I don't want to be alone
Mourning the ones who [E]came before
I want to dance with [B/F#]them some more
Let's dance in the graveyar[E]ds
[A/E]Oh my love, don't cry when I'm gone
I will [B/F#]lift you up, the air in your lungs
And when you [E]reach for me, [B/F#]we'll dance in the darkness
(Palm mute or single strum this next bit)
And we will [E]walk beyond
Our daughters and sons, they will [E]carry on
Like when we were young, and we will [B/F#]stand beside and breathe in their new l[B/F#]ife[A/E][E]
(Back into strumming)
'Cause when I [E]die
I don't want to rest in peace
I want to dance in [E]joy
I want to dance in the [B/F#]graveyards, the graveyards
And [E]while I'm alive
I don't want to be alone
Mourning the ones who [E]came before
I want to dance with [B/F#]them some more
Let's dance in the grave[E]yards
