The Dead Waltz Lyrics

All chords relative to Capo. Notes for Intro and Bridge not relative to Capo.
I think it's less confusing that way.
Chords Used
or
I like using bar chords version of the chords for G, A, and Bm. I think it
sounds better and it's easier to switch quickly between them that way, but
you can use the non-barred versions of those chords if you want. Doesn't
really matter.

I saw your daughter yesterday
as I was idle on the porch
she slept-walked from your house down the walkway
as though she'd done it all before
and the moon was out
Interlude:
and in her gown beside the riverbed
she got down on her knees
and wrapped her long hair up in vines, and leaves, and branches
and with the wind beneath her feet
oh, she waltzed with the dead
Interlude:
(Piano part) and everything was?.
bathed
in light white as milk
(when changing from Em to G in this verse, do this)
as the impossible began
she danced across the water's edge
but her feet, they didn't sink
as though she flew
(optional guitar part. i wanted to include the vocal melody in the guitar
because it sounds cool, but it's kind of hard to play smoothly and it's not
really necessary if you're singing)
she flew??
(if you do all the sliding parts with your 1st finger it makes it a little
easier)
G (hold for a long time)
piano part
and then
pause.
Guitar I
Guitar II
(piano accompaniment)
I ran out in the water with a lantern in my hand I was
waste deep and shivering took her wrist and walked her in
I was loathe to interrupt her but i had to get her home if
people were to see this they'd gather up, raise hell and burn her alive
(here i would use bar chords, it gives it a more full sound)
don't you mind, don't you mind
she'll be fine
tie a bell around her ankle
before she lays down at night
and the sound of her footsteps
will wake me in time
don't you mind, don't you mind
I'll watch over her
as though she were mine
