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'

Just a little company

Until our work is done

Solos
Beatboxing/Acapella
Who says you can't go back?
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?)
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?)
The bone falls on the river Styx
The man who makes you dead
Coins lay on his eyes
Just to pay your fare
E
Day for the dead
Asus2 E
To dance among the living
More soloing
REPEAT INTRO RIFF
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
