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