Lord of the dance

Sydney Carter

 GDG
     Dance then, wherever you may be
 EmD
     I am the lord of the dance, said he
 GEm
     And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
 DG
     And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.

 GDEm
I danced in the morning, when the world was begun
 DCD
I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
 GDEm
I came down from heaven and I danced on earth
 DG
At bethlehem had my, I had my birth.

 GDEm
I danced for the scribe and for the Pharisee
 DCD
They would not dance, they wouldn't follow me
 GDEm
So I danced for the fishermen James and John
 DG
came with me and the dance went on.

 GDEm
I danced on the sabbath and I cured the lame
 DCD
The holy people, they said it was a shame
 GDEm
They whipped and stripped and they hung me high
 DG
Left me there on a cross to die.

 GDEm
I danced on the friday, when the sky turned black
 DCD
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
 GDEm
They buried my body they thought I'd gone
 DG
But I am the dance, and I still go on.

 GDEm
They cut me down, but I lept up high
 DCD
 I am the life, that will never, never die
 GDEm
And I live in you, if you live in me
 DG
 I am the lord of the dance, said he.
