[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!)
