Version 1Lord Of The Dance:The Irish Rovers. #26 in Canada in 1972. [Verse 1] G Em G I danced in the morning when the world was begun. D C D I danced in the Moon and the Stars and the Sun. G D Em I came down from Heaven and I danced on Earth.. D C G at Bethlehem I had my birth. [Chorus] G Em G Dance, dance, wherever you may be.. Em D I am the Lord of the Dance, said He. G Em G And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be.. D G And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! (lead you all in the Dance, said He!) [Verse 2] G Em G I danced for the scribes and the phar..isees. D C D But they would not dance and they wouldn't follow me. G D Em I danced for fishermen, for James and John.. D C G they came with me and the Dance went on. [Chorus] G Em G Dance, dance, wherever you may be.. Em D I am the Lord of the Dance, said He. G Em G And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be.. D G And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! (lead you all in the Dance, said He!) [Verse 3] G Em G I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame. D C D The holy people thought it was a shame. G Em G They cut and they stripped and they hung me high.. D C G and they left me there on a cross to die. [Chorus] G Em G Dance, dance, wherever you may be.. Em D I am the Lord of the Dance, said He. G Em G And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be.. D G And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! (lead you all in the Dance, said He!) [Verse 4] G Em G I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black. D C D It's hard to dance with the devil on your back. G Em G They buried my body, but I'd gone.. D C G but I am the Dance and I still go on. [Chorus] G Em G Dance, dance, wherever you may be.. Em D I am the Lord of the Dance, said He. G Em G And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be.. D G And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! (lead you all in the Dance, said He!) [Verse 5] G Em G They cut me down but I leapt up high. D C D I am the Light that will never, never die. G Em G I'll live in you if you'll live in Me.. D C G I am the Lord of the Dance, said He. [Chorus] G Em G Dance, dance, wherever you may be.. Em D I am the Lord of the Dance, said He. G Em G And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be.. D G And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! (lead you all in the Dance, said He!) [Outro] G Em G Dance, dance, wherever you may be.. Em D I am the Lord of the Dance, said He. G Em G And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be.. D G And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! (lead you all in the Dance, said He!)
