Danced With The Reaper
(Ed Du Bois)
Lyrics and Music by Ed Du Bois, June 5, 2005, Copyright 2006
This song is about my heart attack on Wednesday, June 1, 2005. My family and I didn't need that, hope it never comes back! The chorus vividly portrays my three hours of pain. Sorry this is a dark painful song. You may have had to be there to like it.
Chords are Am; G for verse, and C; G; Am for the chorus. Done slow, spooky style!

He smiled and said it's alright,
Come close and follow the light,
No matter what you say,
This time you don't get away,
I danced with the Reaper last night.
Chorus
No, why me,
I want to be,
Let me stay,
Take, this pain, away.
2
As soon as it started it was gone,
Life renewed, no harm,
I'll live for another day,
Given back my life,
I danced with the Reaper last night.
Chorus
3
He smiled and said goodbye,
You win again tough guy,
But I'll be back again some day,
And then you'll have to pay,
I danced with the Reaper last night,
I danced with the Reaper last night.
Chorus
