[Intro]
Am  F C  Am  F C


[Verse 1]
Am                   F       C
You said my fate was sealed, you said my days were numbered
Am                    F     C
Case closed with no appeal, my future's six feet under
Am                            F        C
Messing with my head in ghost fashion, my heart was holding its breath
Am                     F         C                         F
Terrified of taking my last one, oh death you scared me to death


[Pre-Chorus]
F   Am           G
Oh, you ain't my King though
F
Oh, where did your sting go?


[Chorus]
   C
Oh death, I will not be afraid
Am                  Em
In the end you will lose
                     F
I will dance on your grave
F
With the One who buried you
C                       Am
You ain't nothing but a stone
                       Em
That my Savior rolled away
                            F
Set you straight and set me free
                         Am
Oh death you are dead to me
C                        Am  C
Oh death you are dead to me


[Verse 2]
Am                       F           C
My faith don't flinch at your wrath, devil go on, get off of my shoulder
Am                      F           C
You thought you had the last laugh, you thought this song was over

F         Am           G
Oh-oh-oh, you ain't my King though
F
Oh-oh-oh, where did your sting go?


[Chorus]
   C
Oh death, I will not be afraid
Am                  Em
In the end you will lose
                     F
I will dance on your grave
F
With the One who buried you
C                       Am
You ain't nothing but a stone
                       Em
That my Savior rolled away
                            F
Set you straight and set me free
                         Am
Oh death you are dead to me
C                        Am  C
Oh death you are dead to me


[Bridge]
               Am                             F
Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of you
           G
I know I'm just passing through
C              Am                             F
Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of you
F
I know I'm just passing through


[Chorus]
   C
Oh death, I will not be afraid
Am                  Em
In the end you will lose
                     F
I will dance on your grave
F
With the One who buried you
C                       Am
You ain't nothing but a stone
                       Em
That my Savior rolled away
                            F
Set you straight and set me free
                         C
Oh death you are dead to me
C
Oh death, I will not be afraid
Am                  Em
In the end you will lose
                     F
I will dance on your grave
F
With the One who buried you
C                       Am
You ain't nothing but a stone
                       Em
That my Savior rolled away
                            F
Set you straight and set me free
                         C
Oh death you are dead to me


[Outro]
C              Am                             F
Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of you
           G
I know I'm just passing through
C              Am                             F
Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of you
           G
I know I'm just passing through

C              Am                             F
Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of you
G
(Oh death, you are dead to me)
