[G] I danced in the morning when the [Em] world was [G] young.
I [D] danced in the Moon and the [C] Stars and the [D] Sun.
I [G] came down from Heaven and I [D] danced on [Em] Earth..
at [D] Bethlehem I [C] had my [G] birth. 

[G] Dance, dance, wher-[Em]ever you may-[G]be..
[Em] I am the Lord of the [D] Dance, said He.
And I'll [G] lead you all, wher-[Em]ever you may [G] be..
And I'll [D] lead you all in the [G] dance, said He 

[G] I danced for the scribes and the [Em] phar-[G]isees.
They [D] wouldn't dance, they [C] wouldn't follow [D] me.
I [G] danced for the fishermen, [D] James and [Em] John..
they [D] came with me so the [C] dance went [G] on.

[G] Dance, dance, wher-[Em]ever you may-[G]be..
[Em] I am the Lord of the [D] Dance, said He.
And I'll [G] lead you all, wher-[Em]ever you may [G] be..
And I'll [D] lead you all in the [G] dance, said He  

[G] I danced on the Sabbath and I [Em] cured the [G] lame.
The [D] holy people said it [C] was a [D] shame.
They [G] ripped, they stripped, they [Em] hung me [G] high..
they [D] left me there on a [C] cross to [G] die. 

[G] Dance, dance, wher-[Em]ever you may-[G]be..
[Em] I am the Lord of the [D] Dance, said He.
And I'll [G] lead you all, wher-[Em]ever you may [G] be..
And I'll [D] lead you all in the [G] dance, said He  

[G] I danced on a Friday when the [Em] world turned [G] black.
It's [D] hard to dance with the [C] devil on your [D] back.
They [G] buried my body, [Em] they thought I was [G] gone..
but [D] I am the Dance and the [C]  dance [G] goes on. 

[G] Dance, dance, wher-[Em]ever you may-[G]be..
[Em] I am the Lord of the [D] Dance, said He.
And I'll [G] lead you all, wher-[Em]ever you may [G] be..
And I'll [D] lead you all in the [G] dance, said He 

[G] They cut me down and I [Em] leapt up [G] high.
[D] I am the Life that will [C] never, never [D] die.
I [G] live in you if you [Em] live in [G] Me..
I [D] am the Lord of the [C] Dance, said [G] He. 

[G] Dance, dance, wher-[Em]ever you may-[G]be..
[Em] I am the Lord of the [D] Dance, said He.
And I'll [G] lead you all, wher-[Em]ever you may [G] be..
And I'll [D] lead you all in the [G] dance, said He

Title: Lord Of The Dance

Artist: The Dubliners

Song Types: Folk

Key: G

Info: "Lord of the Dance" is a hymn with words written by English songwriter Sydney Carter in 1963. The Dubliners were an Irish folk band founded in Dublin in 1962 as The Ronnie Drew Ballad Group, named after its founding member; they subsequently renamed themselves The Dubliners. The line-up saw many changes in personnel over their fifty-year career, but the group's success was centred on lead singers Luke Kelly and Ronnie Drew. The band garnered international success with their lively Irish folk songs, traditional street ballads and instrumentals

In 1974, Ronnie Drew decided to quit the band, to spend more time with his family. He was replaced with Jim McCann. Before joining the band McCann had a TV show in the early seventies called The McCann man. He is best known for his incarnations of "Carrickfergus", Makem's "Four Green Fields", and "Lord of the Dance". He stayed with the band until 1979 when he left to start a solo career; then Ronnie Drew rejoined the band. First Ronnie went to Norway to record two songs in the Norwegian language with the Norwegian band Bergeners.

The Dubliners also gained popularity amongst famous musicians such as Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd's drummer Nick Mason, who were all self-proclaimed Dubliners fans
