Lord of the Dance

Intro:
G#m C#m A B7

Verse 1:
E G#m C#m
I danced in the morning when the world was begun
A F#m B7
I danced in the Moon and the Stars and the Sun
E C#m G#m C#m
I came down from Heaven and I danced on Earth
A B7 E A E
at Bethlehem I had my birth

Chorus:
G#m C#m G#m C#m
Dance, then, wherever you may be
E A B7
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He
E C#m G#m E
I’ll lead you all, wherever you may be
A B7 E A E
I’ll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

Verse 2:
I danced for the scribes and the Pharisees
They wouldn’t dance, they wouldn’t follow me
I danced for the fishermen James and John
They came with me so the dance went on

Verse 3:
I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame
The holy people said it was a shame
They ripped, they stripped, they hung me high
Left me there on the cross to die

Verse 4:
I danced on a Friday when the world turned black
It’s hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body, they thought I was gone
But I am the dance, and the dance goes on

Verse 5:
They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that will never, never die
I’ll live in you if you’ll live in me
I am the Lord of the dance, said he
