[Intro]

E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD (x2)


[Verse]

E minorEm       C majorC
I look out to a little house
G+G         D MajorD
 Nearly fallen apart
E minorEm       C majorC
In there sits a wicked man
  D MajorD         E minorEm
Who tortured my simple heart
E minorEm       C majorC
Would it take another step
    G+G          D MajorD
Towards something that's so vile
E minorEm        C majorC
He gets up and he looks at me
   D MajorD      E minorEm
and I show him my denial

[Chorus]

(Strum once, normal strumming at end of chorus)
G+G       D MajorD
Oh, here's the reaper man
   C majorC       D MajorD
He's looking out to me
G+G       D MajorD
Oh, here's the reaper man
   C majorC       G+G     E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
He's coming to take me, da-da-dum


[Verse]

E minorEm      C majorC
I have spent sleepless nights
G+G         D MajorD
 Dreaming of the day
E minorEm         C majorC
That he'll come and take a step
  D MajorD        E minorEm
And walk towards my way
E minorEm           C majorC        G+G      D MajorD
But brittle bones and aching limbs is where I wanna be
E minorEm      C majorC     D MajorD     E minorEm
Oh, when that wicked man comes for me

[Chorus]

G+G       D MajorD
Oh, here's the reaper man
   C majorC       D MajorD
He's looking out to me
G+G       D MajorD
And oh, there's the reaper man
   C majorC       G+G      E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD    E minorEm   C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
He's coming to take me, da-da-daum    da-da-dum-dadadum


[Verse]

(Strum once)
E minorEm        C majorC
But I believe in redemption,
G+G         D MajorD
 From a brighter light
E minorEm         C majorC
But I ain't going with him
  D MajorD      E minorEm
Without one last fight

(Normal strumming)

E minorEm      C majorC
Oh, but that reaper man,
G+G        D MajorD
How he loves me so
E minorEm        C majorC
And I can't hear his whispers
    D MajorD     E minorEm
As the cold wind blows


[Outro]

G+G     D MajorD
Oh, here's the reaper man
   C majorC       D MajorD
He's looking out to me
G+G     D MajorD
And oh, here's the reaper man
   C majorC       G+G
He's coming to take me,
G+G     D MajorD
Oh, there's the reaper man
   C majorC       D MajorD
He's looking out to me
G+G     D MajorD
And oh, there's that reaper man
   C majorC       G+G      E minorEm C majorC   G+G  D MajorD     E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G (single strum G+G)
