A   A   A   A
A   D E A   D E

Verse 1:

A
Bartender, line the tankards up, Five places at the wood
A
I'm spending all the bounty gold, Just like I said I would
A
Don't look at me with pity, sir, Don't ask me where they went
A

Tonight we count the blessings, Not the silver that we spent
   F#m                    E                  D            A
The shield is broke, the sword is dull, The story has an end
   F#m            E                D               E   E
But I have got a coin or two, For every missing friend


Pre-Chorus:

    D              E       A
The shadows try to pull me down
    F#m               A      E    E
But I will drown them in the sound


Chorus:
    A       D              A
But oh, I’m dancing on the floor
           E                 A
I live the life they live no more
            D                F#m
My heart is beating loud and fast
            E              A
To make the heavy memory last
             D                A
One drink for sorrow, two for pain
             E            A
And three to never cry again
            D                 E
So play the fiddle, stomp the ground
                                  A   D E A   D E
I'll live for those who aren't around!


Verse 2:
A                                  D               E
We walked into the dark abyss, Six heroes bold and bright
A                               D
But I am all that walked away, Into the morning light
A                               D                 E
I stood upon the jagged cliff, The wind was calling me
A                               D
To step into the empty air, And join them in the sea
F#m                  E                 D               A
I looked down at the crashing waves, I almost took the leap
F#m                  E                D                  E   E
To close my eyes one final time, And join them in their sleep


Pre-Chorus 2:
D                      E      A
But then I heard their spirit say
F#m               A     E   E
You have to see another day


Chorus:
    A       D              A
But oh, I’m dancing on the floor
           E                 A
I live the life they live no more
            D                F#m
My heart is beating loud and fast
            E              A
To make the heavy memory last
             D                A
One drink for sorrow, two for pain
             E            A
And three to never cry again
            D                 E
So play the fiddle, stomp the ground
                                  A   D E A   D E
I'll live for those who aren't around!


Verse 3:
(Single Strums, soft and sad)
A                                               D               E
They gave their breath so I could breathe, They fell so I could stand
A                                   D
So I will drink the finest wine, In all this broken land
A                                   D                E
If I sit down the silence comes, And grabs me by the throat
A                               D
So I will sing until I choke, On every happy note
F#m                 E               D               A
I promised him, the one I loved, Before he lost his head
F#m                 E                D
That I would live a double life, For all the ones who bled


Pre-Chorus 3:
D                   E        A
So fill the cup and raise it high
F#m                  A     E   E
Beneath the vast and empty sky


Chorus:
N.C
But oh, I’m dancing on the floor
N.C
I live the life they live no more
N.C
My heart is beating loud and fast
N.C
To make the heavy memory last
N.C
One drink for sorrow, two for pain
N.C
And three to never cry again
N.C
So play the fiddle, stomp the ground
N.C                                  A   D E A   D E
I'll live for those who aren't around!

Refrain:
(Single strums, soft)
A         D        E    A
I’m sorry that I’m here alone
A         D      E       A
I’m sorry that I made it home

A   D E A   D E
A   D E A   D

Chorus:
    A       D              A
But oh, I’m dancing on the floor
           E                 A
I live the life they live no more
            D                F#m
My heart is beating loud and fast
            E              A
To make the heavy memory last
             D                A
One drink for sorrow, two for pain
             E            A
And three to never cry again
            D                 E
So play the fiddle, stomp the ground
                                   A
I'll live for those who aren't around!

 D         E                A   D  E
      For those who aren't around!
A   D         E                A
            For those who aren't around!
