Then the door was open and the wind appeared

    F       G         Am
The candles blew then disappeared

    F        G         Am                   G         Am
The curtains flew then he appeared...saying don't be afraid

Come on baby...and she had no fear

        G      Am              G          Am
And she ran to him...then they started to fly

            G            Am                    G           Am
They looked backward and said goodby...she had become like they are

        G         Am             G           Am
She had taken his hand...she had become like they are

Come on baby...don't fear the reaper . . .
