VERSE: 
 
           E 
I see them rise 
     A9       E 
From beneath the ground 
         A9             E 
Life was lost but now it's found 
                E9/E5 
The ghosts want somethin' 
 
              E 
To take their turn 
   A9            E 
To dance around the stone 
         A9          E 
Work the fingers to the bone 
           E9/E5 
Hold on to nothin' 
 
CHORUS: 
 
E           E 
Day for the dead,

We find forgiveness 
        A9       E 
For the wrong we've done 
          A9        E 
Watch the dyin' of the day 
        E9/E5 
Another settin' sun 
 
        A9 E 
We find redemption 
       A9      E 
In the love we've won 
              A9 E 
Just a little company 
          E9/E5 
Until our work is done 
 
E           E 
Day for the dead, 
   A9           E 
To dance among the living

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
