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
