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)
