Lord Of The Dance - (Sydney Carter 1963) Verse 1: I [G] danced in the morning when the world was begun And I [D7] danced in the Moon & the Stars & the Sun And I [G] came down from Heaven & I danced on Earth At [D7] Bethlehem I [G] had my birth |Chorus: |[G] Dance then, wherever you may be |I am the Lord of the [D7] Dance, said He! |And I'll [G] lead you all, wherever you may be |And I'll [D7] lead you all in the [G] Dance, said He! Verse 2: I [G] danced for the scribe & the pharisee But [D7] they would not dance & they wouldn't follow me I [G] danced for fishermen, for James & John They [D7] came with me & the [G] Dance went on Chorus: Verse 3: I [G] danced on the Sabbath & I cured the lame The [D7] holy people said it was a shame! They [G] whipped & they stripped & they hung me high And they [D7] left me there on a [G] cross to die! |Chorus: |[G] Dance then, wherever you may be |I am the Lord of the [D7] Dance, said He! |And I'll [G] lead you all, wherever you may be |And I'll [D7] lead you all in the [G] Dance, said He! Verse 4: I [G] danced on a Friday when the sky turned black It's [D7] hard to dance with the devil on your back They [G] buried my body & they thought I'd gone But [D7] I am the Dance & I [G] still go on! Verse 5: They [G] cut me down and I leapt up high I [D7] am the Life that'll never, never die! I'll [G] live in you if you'll live in Me - [D7] I am the Lord of the [G] Dance, said He! Chorus:
