LORD OF THE DANCE (intro) (midi)
G Em G Em
1. I danced in the morning when the world was young,
Am C D
and I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun.
G Em G Em
And I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth,
Am D G C G
at Bethlehem I had my birth.
G Em G Em
Dance, dance wherever you may be,
G Em D
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he.
G Em G Em
And I'll lead you all wherever you may be,
Am D G C G
and I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.
G Em G Em
2. I danced for the scribes and the pharisees,
Am C D
but they would not dance and they wouldn't follow me.
G Em G Em
I danced for the fisherman, James and John,
Am D G C G
they came with me and the dance went on. + CHORUS
G Em G Em
3. I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame,
Am C D
the holy people they said it was a shame.
G Em G Em
They whipped, they stripped, they hung me high,
Am D G C G
and left me there on the cross to die. + CHORUS
+ Instrumental (=verse x 2)
G Em G Em
4. I danced on a Friday when the world turned black,
Am C D
it's hard to dance with the devil on your back.
G Em G Em
They buried my body, they thought I was gone,
Am D G C G
but I am the dance and the dance goes on. + CHORUS
G Em G Em
5. They cut me down and I leapt up high,
Am C D
I am the life that will never, never die.
G Em G Em
I'll live in you if you live in me,
Am D G C G
I am the Lord of the dance, said he. + CHORUS
+ Instrumental (=verse x 2)
