verse :

E
i see them rise
Asus2 E
from beneath the ground
Asus2 E
life was lost but now it’s found
Esus2/E5
the ghosts want somethin’

E
to take their turn
Asus2 E
to dance around the stone
Asus2 E
work the fingers to the bone
Esus2/E5
hold on to nothin’

chorus :

E E
day for the dead ,
Asus2 E
to dance among the living
E E
day for the dead
Asus2 E
to dance among the living

E7 C#m6 Asus2 E
E7 C#m6 Asus2 E

Asus2 E
we find forgiveness
Asus2 E
for the wrong we’ve done
Asus2 E
watch the dyin’ of the day
Esus2/E5
another settin’ sun

Asus2 E
we find redemption
Asus2 E
in the love we’ve won
Asus2 E
just a little company
Esus2/E5
until our work is done

E E
day for the dead ,
Asus2 E
to dance among the living
E E
day for the dead
Asus2 E
to dance among the living

who says you can’t go back ,
back to where you started from? ( are you ready )
who says you can’t go back? ( are you ready? )

xthe man who makes you dead
