Melody 1:
D#
When I die, I don't want to rest in peace, I want to dance in joy
A#
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards
D#
And while I'm alive, I don't want to be alone
Mourning the ones who came before
A# D#
I want to dance with them some more, let's dance in the graveyards
Melody 2:
D#
Gloria, like some other name we kept on calling ya and waiting for change
A#
But I belong to all of your mysteries
D#
And all of us, we're meant for the fire
But we keep rising up and walking the wires
A#
So when we go below, don't lose us in mourning
Melody 1:
D#
'Cause when I die, I don't want to rest in peace, I want to dance in joy
A#
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards
D#
And while I'm alive, I don't want to be alone
Mourning the ones who came before
A# D#
I want to dance with them some more, let's dance in the graveyards (whoa-oh)
A#
Let's dance in the graveyards (whoa-oh)
Melody 3:
G# D#
Oh, my love, don't cry when I'm gone
G# D#
I will lift you up, the air in your lungs
A# D# A#
And when you reach for me, we'll dance in the darkness
Melody 2:
D#
And we will walk beyond - our daughters and sons
They will carry on like when we were young
A#
And we will stand beside and breathe in their new life
Melody 1:
D#
'Cause when I die, I don't want to rest in peace, I want to dance in joy
A#
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards
D#
And while I'm alive, I don't want to be alone
Mourning the ones who came before
A# D#
I want to dance with them some more, let's dance in the graveyards (whoa-oh)
A#
Let's dance in the graveyards (whoa-oh)
