Dancer to the Drum  Beth Nielsen Chapman

"Dancer to the drum" by Beth Nielson Chapman
From: "You hold the key" Album
Intro: G G
Fast as[G]leep in the dawn of ages
The s[C]oul of every ch[G]ild
Has wa[D]ited to be born a str[Em]anger
Underneath the d[G]rum of his mothers he[D]art
Lying de[G]ep in a dream of darkness
Where f[C]ear has never g[G]one
Each sp[D]ark of a life is st[Em]arted
Blind and p[G]ure to the wo[D]rld we c[C]ome
Blind and p[G]ure to the wo[D]rld we c[G]ome
Refrain D G
Each of us a dancer to the drum
D C riff 1
Each of us a dancer to the drum
B[G]lind and p[D]ure we co[G]me
One is b[G]orn into a life of hunger
One will be a k[C]ing or a rich man's s[G]on
One will k[D]ill out of greed or a[Em]nger
One will give his l[G]ife for another o[D]ne
There are li[G]es in the smiles of innocence
There are bl[C]ooms in the walls of st[G]one
And we w[D]ill seek ourselves
In the e[C]yes of ever[G]yone .....we have ever kn[Em]own
Eve[G]ryone we have ever known
And the he[D]art, the he[C]art will ever be a wit[G]ness
And pre[Em]cious ti[C]me, no treasure is wo[G]rth
And the ch[D]ild, the ch[C]ild will carry our exi[Em]stence
[C] Through the d[G]ays that we h[D]ave on ea[G]rth
solo: dulcimer, G C D C G D C G D G
Each of us a da[D]ncer to the d[G]rum
Each of us a da[D]ncer to the d[C]rum
Bl[G]ind and pu[D]re we co[G]me
G (Hold)
Fast asleep in the dawn of ages
The so[C]ul of every child
D C riff 2
Has waited to be born a stranger
D G G G (G) 1 strum
