[Intro]
Muted strumming
G Bm Em Bm C
G Bm Em Bm C
[Verse 1]
G Bm Em
I greeted death like an old familiar friend
Bm C
And we haven’t spoken in awhile
G Bm C
But I knew it wouldn’t be long until we meet again
Bm C
How could I forget that lonesome, boney smile?
[Chorus]
G Bm Em C
Skeleton man, won’t you take my stone-cold hand?
G Bm Em C
No need to stress, no need to worry, now that my dreams are dead
G Bm Em C
Phantom in black, won’t you take the long way back?
G Bm Em C
No need to stress, no need to worry, no need to change your plans,
G Bm Em C
just take it slow
G Bm Em C G
Skeleton ghost
[Verse 2]
Bm Em
Me and Death, we go way back
Bm C
We first met when I was younger, with my favorite childhood pet
G Bm Em C
Then when I bеcame a man, Death and I got acquainted fast
G Bm
Thеn through the years, the blood, sweat, and tears
Em C
I’m afraid he’s my only friend
G Bm Em C
But I cheated Death at a high-stakes poker bet
G Bm Em C
And our friendship hasn’t been the same way since
[Chorus]
G Bm Em C
Skeleton man, won’t you take my stone-cold hand?
G Bm Em C
No need to stress, no need to worry, now that my dreams are dead
G Bm Em C
Phantom in black I know there’s no easy way back
G Bm Em C
There’s no need to stress, no need to worry, no need to change your plans, just take it slow
G Bm Em C
just take it slow
G Bm Em C G
Skeleton ghost
