The Irish Rovers

I Am Lord Of The Dance

by The Irish Rovers
The Irish Rovers

Biography:

A popular and long-running Canadian-Irish folk group that saw their beginning in the 1960s, The Irish Rovers are particularly well-known for their hit recording of Shel Silverstein's "The Unicorn," although a great many more of their characteristically happy and oft-comical songs remain well-known to this day. In 2010, the band celebrated 45 years as recording artists, with their latest CD, "Gracehill Fair" and filming the DVD/television special "Home in Ireland", shot entirely on-location, throughout the northwest coast of Ireland.

Lord 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!)


A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
