Don't Fear The Reaper
Blue Oyster Cult
(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)
Key of C
Am G F G
-------2-0--------0--------0-------0-
-----2----------0--------0-------0---
---0----------2--------3-------2-----
Let the open 'G' ring out each time
1st verse :
Am G F G Am G F G
All our times have come. ( music )
Am G F G Am G F G
Here but now they're gone. ( music )
F G Am
Seasons don't fear the reaper nor
F E Am
do the wind, the sun or the rain. We
G F G Am
can be like they are. Come on baby. Don't
Fear the Reaper...
