[Single Strum]  
       E
When I die

I don?t want to rest in peace
                   E
I want to dance in joy
                       B/F#
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards
    E
And while I?m alive

I don?t want to be alone
                      E
Mourning the ones who came before
                     B/F#
I want to dance with them some more
                        E [Into Strumming]
Let?s dance in the graveyards


 E                                      E
Gloria, like some other name we kept on calling ya and waiting for change
   B/F#                           B/F# A/E E  B/F# A/E E  [<-- Quick Succession]
But I belong to all of your mysteries
     E                                               E
And all of us, we?re meant for the fire, but we keep rising up and walking the wires
   B/F#                                   B/F# A/E E  B/F# A/E E
So when we go below don?t lose us in mourning


              E
'Cause when I die

I don?t want to rest in peace
                   E
I want to dance in joy
                       B/F#
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards
    E
And while I'm alive

I don't want to be alone
                      E
Mourning the ones who came before
                     B/F#
I want to dance with them some more
                           E
Let?s dance in the graveyards

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

**[Palm mute or single strum this next bit]**

            E
And we will walk beyond
                                  E
Our daughters and sons, they will carry on
                                     B/F#                                   B/F# A/E E
Like when we were young, and we will stand beside and breathe in their new life


[Back into strumming]

              E
'Cause when I die

I don?t want to rest in peace
                   E
I want to dance in joy
                       B/F#
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards
    E
And while I'm alive

I don't want to be alone
                      E
Mourning the ones who came before
                     B/F#
I want to dance with them some more
                        E 
Let's dance in the graveyards
