When the world was young I [Am] danced in the moon and the stars and the [G] Sun I came down from [Em] heaven and I danced on
the earth at [G] Bethlehem I had my birth
[Em] [G] [Em]
[G] [Em]
I danced [G] for the [Em] scribes and the Pharisees
They [Em] wouldn't dance.
[D] They wouldn't follow [G] me.
I danced for the fishermen [Em] James and [Am] John they came with me
