Melody 1: 
       E 
When I die, I don't want to rest in peace, I want to dance in joy
                       B                 
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards
    E 
And while I'm alive, I don't want to be alone 

Mourning the ones who came before
                     B                                       E 
I want to dance with them some more, let's dance in the graveyards


Melody 2:
E
Gloria, like some other name we kept on calling ya and waiting for change
    B
But I belong to all of your mysteries
    E
And all of us, we're meant for the fire

But we keep rising up and walking the wires
           B 
So when we go below, don't lose us in mourning


Melody 1:
              E       
'Cause when I die, I don't want to rest in peace, I want to dance in joy
                       B
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards
    E 
And while I'm alive, I don't want to be alone

Mourning the ones who came before
                     B                                       E
I want to dance with them some more, let's dance in the graveyards (whoa-oh)
                                    B
Let's dance in the graveyards (whoa-oh)


Melody 3:
A                  E 
Oh, my love, don't cry when I'm gone
       A                E   
I will lift you up, the air in your lungs
             B                   E                 B
And when you reach for me, we'll dance in the darkness


Melody 2:
            E  
And we will walk beyond - our daughters and sons

They will carry on like when we were young
            B
And we will stand beside and breathe in their new life


Melody 1:
              E                        
'Cause when I die, I don't want to rest in peace, I want to dance in joy
                       B
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards
    E 
And while I'm alive, I don't want to be alone

Mourning the ones who came before
                     B                                  E
I want to dance with them some more, let's dance in the graveyards (whoa-oh)
                                    B
Let's dance in the graveyards (whoa-oh)
