(intro) D5  E5    C5     Eb5  D5 D5

Bb5           F5      F5               Eb5
As I lay down dying    a floor for my bed
Bb5             F5         F5        Eb5     C5
And a bundle of newspaper under my head
Eb5       B5         Ab5             C5
I dreamed a dream  as strange as could be
C5     Bb5  C5               F5 (bass) F5 E5 F5 G5
Concerning myself   and somebody like me

( Ab5 Eb5  Ab5 G5 Eb5 Bb5 Db5 )

Bb5               F5  F5                 Eb5
We were in some city    the stranger and me
Bb5             F5     F5               Eb5    C5 Eb5
The houses were open  and the streets empty
                  B5   A5  Ab5              C5
The windows were bare  and the pavements dirty
F#?             Bb5  C5              F5 (bass) F5 E5 F5 G5
I asked where I was;    my companion ignored me

( Ab5  F5  Bb5 )

Bb5                        F#5
We entered a graveyard and searched for a tombstone
     E5                  F#5
The graves were disturbed  and the coffins wide open
E5                          B5
And the corpses were rotten    yet each one was living
      C#5                          B5        A5      G5 F#5
Their eyes were alive with maggots crawling

Bb5                 F#5
I cried out in fear        but my voice had left me
    E5              F#5
My legs were deformed               yet I moved quite freely
E5             (bass) E5 F#5 G#5 A5 B5 C#5 B5                   E5
 My head was on fire                   yet my hands were icy

(bass) E5 F#5 G5 A5 E5 F#5 G5 A5

 C#5                                  B5
And everywhere light  yet darkness engulfed me

( A5 G5 F#5 )

Bb5            F5          F5           Eb5
I managed to scream and woke from my slumber
Bb5             F5         F5        Eb5           C5  Eb5
I thought of my dream and lay there and wondered
             B5    Ab5             C5
Where had I been? What could it mean?
F#5               Bb5
It was dark in the deathroom
