VERSE: (other guitar plays opening riff)
        A            C             A            C
       Down in the graveyard where we have our tryst,

            A          C          A          C
       The air smells sweet, the air smells sick.

       A         C           A            C
       He never smiles, his mouth merely twists,

             A           C            A           C
       The breath in my lungs feels clinging and thick.

           A            C               A      C
       But I know his name, he's called Mister D.

            A            C               A       C
       And one of these days he's gonna set you free.

         A     C                 A               C
       Human skulls is hangin' right 'round his neck,

            A           C         A        C
       The palms of my hands is clammy and wet.

CHORUS:             A        G       C          A
       Lord, I was dancin', dancin' dancin' so free,

        A        G        C          A
       Dancin', dancin', dancin' so free.

        A        G               C        A
       Dancin', Lord, keep your hands off me,

        A            G        C  A
       Dancin' with Mister D., 

       A            A  G  C  A
       With Mr. D.,

       A            A  G  C  A
       With Mr. D.
VERSE: Will it be poison, put in my glass, Will it be slow or will it be fast? The bite of a snake, the sting of a spider, A drink of Belladonna on a Toussaint night. Hiding in a corner in New York City, Lookin' down a forty four in West Virginia. CHORUS: VERSE: One night I was dancin' with a lady in black, Wearin' black silk gloves and a black silk hat. She looked at me longin' with black velvet eyes, She gazed at me strange all cunning and wise. Then I saw the flesh just fall off her bones, The eyes in her skull was burning like coals. Lord, have mercy, fire and brimstone. I was dancin' with Misses D. CHORUS: Lord, I was dancin', dancin', dancin' so free, I was dancin', dancin', dancin' so free. Dancin', dancin', dancin' so free. Dancin', dancin'. -- fade out
