Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)

40,000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)

40,000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness)

Another 40,000 coming everyday (we can be like they are)

Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)

Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper)

We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)

Baby I'm your man

(Someone suggested playing the A open in the 3rd riff which is OK but
I checked the actual sheet music and the C 3rd fret is written
in the sheet music as the guitar and bass parts)
