[G] I danced [Em] in the morning when the world was young, [Am] I danced in the moon and the stars [G] and the sun, I came down from heaven [Em] and I danced on the earth, [Am] at [G] Bethlehem I had my birth.
Dance, [Em] dance, wherever you may [G] be, I am the Lord [Am] of the dance, [G] said he, and I'll lead you all, [Em] wherever [Am] you may be, and I'll lead [G] you all in the dance, said he.
I danced for the [Em] scribes and the [Am] Pharisees, they wouldn't [D] dance, they wouldn't follow [G] me, I danced for the [Em] fishermen, James and [Am] John, they [G] came with me, so the dance went on.
Dance, [Em] dance, wherever [G] you may be, I am the [Am] Lord of the dance, said he, [G] and I'll lead you [Em] all, wherever you may [Am] be, and I'll [G] lead you all in the dance, said he.
I danced on the [Em] Sabbath and I cured the [Am] lame, the holy people [D] said it was a [G] shame, they whipped, they [Em] stripped, they hung me [Am] high, [G] left me there on the cross to die.
Dance, dance, wherever you may be, I am the [Am] Lord of the dance, said [G] he, and I'll lead you [Am] all, wherever you may be, and I'll lead you [G] all in the dance, said he.

danced on the Friday when [Em] the world turned black, [Am] it's hard to dance with [D] the devil on [G] your back, they buried my body, they [Em] thought I was [Am] gone, but I am [G] the dance and the dance goes on.
Dance, dance, [Em] wherever you [G] may be, I am the Lord of the dance, said he, and I'll lead you all, [Em] wherever you [Am] may be, and I'll lead [G] you all in the dance, said he.
They cut [Em] me down and they left me high, [Am] I am the life that [D] will never, [G] never die, I live in you if [Em] you live in me, [Am] I am [G] the Lord of the dance, said he.
Dance, [Em] dance, wherever you [G] may be, I am the Lord of the dance, said he, and I'll lead you all, [Em] wherever [Am] you may be, and I'll lead [G] you all in the dance, said he.
