[Verse 1]
G          Bm           Em
I greeted death like an old familiar
 friend
    Bm                   C
And we haven’t spoken in awhile
    G          Bm                
But I knew it wouldn’t be long until
C
 we meet again
          Bm                     
How could I forget that lonesome, 
       C
boney smile?

[Chorus]
G        Bm             Em      
Skeleton man, won’t you take my 
           C
stone-cold hand?

G                  Bm            
No need to stress, no need to 
    Em                     C
worry, now that my dreams are dead
G                 Bm        Em  
Phantom in black, won’t you take
              C
 the long way back?
G                  Bm            
No need to stress, no need to 
    Em                     C
worry, no need to change your plans,
             G      Bm       Em  
just take it slow
     C

[Verse 2]
       Bm           Em
Me and Death, we go way back
         Bm                     
We first met when I was younger, 
         C
with my favorite childhood pet
G                    Bm          
Then when I bеcame a man, Death 
         Em         C
and I got acquainted fast
G                       Bm
Thеn through the years, the blood, 
sweat, and tears
      Em                C
I’m afraid he’s my only friend
    G         Bm         Em      
But I cheated Death at a 
         C
high-stakes poker bet
    G                     Bm      
And our friendship hasn’t been the
          Em         C
 same way since

[Chorus]
G        Bm             Em      
Skeleton man, won’t you take my 
           C
stone-cold hand?
G                  Bm            
No need to stress, no need to 
    Em                     C
worry, now that my dreams are dead
G          Bm      Em           
Phantom in black I know there’s 
            C
no easy way back
        G                  Bm     
There’s no need to stress, no need
           Em                     
 to worry, no need to change your 
C
plans, just take it slow
             G      Bm       Em  
just take it slow
     C

        G       Bm       Em
