I ^G danced in the ^Em morning when the ^Bm world just ^Em begun, I ^Am danced in the ^D moon and the ^Am stars and the ^D7 sun. I ^G came down from ^Em heaven and I ^Bm danced on the ^Em earth, At ^Am Bethle^D7hem I ^G had ^C my ^G birth. Chorus: ^G Dance, dance, wher^Bmever you may ^Em be, ^Bm I am the Lord of the ^Am7 dance said ^D7 he. And I'll ^G lead you all wher^Emever you may ^Bm be, I'll ^Am7 lead you ^D7 all in the ^G dance ^C said ^G he. I danced for the scribes and the Pharisees, They wouldn't dance and they wouldn't follow me. I danced for the fishermen James and John, They came with me and the dance went on. Chorus: I danced on the Sabbath and I healed the lame, The holy people said it was a shame. They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high, They left me there on the cross to die. Chorus: I danced on the Friday when the sky turned black, It's hard to dance with the devil on your back. They buried my body and they thought I was gone, But I'm the dance and I still go on. Chorus: They cut me down and I leaped 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. Chorus:
