Ein richtiger irischer Traditionell. Sehr bekannt geworden durch Micheal Flatley mit seiner Tanzshow gleichen Namens.
Diese unheimlich rhythmische Musik gefällt mir ganz besonders. 
Das Lied enthält auch die Gitarrengriffe (sind normalerweise leicht zu spielen). Große Akkordsymbole sind Dur- und kleine Akkordsymbole sind Mollgriffe. Viel Spaß beim Musizieren. (Noel McLoughlin spielt dieses Lied original mit Kapodaster auf dem 3. Bund bei C-Dur-Griffe - entspricht dann Dis-Dur)

D














1.      I danced in the morning when the world begun,

2.      I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee,

3.      I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lane,

4.      I danced on the Friday when the sky turned back,

5.      They cut me down and I leaped up high,

        e                                         G                 A

1.      I danced on the moon and the stars and the sun

2.      They would not dance and they wouldn't follow me

3.      The holy people said I was a shame

4.      It's hard to dance with the devil on your back

5.      I am the life, that will never never die.

        D

1.      I came down from heaven and I danced on earth,

2.      I danced for the fisherman, James and John,

3.      They whipped, they stripped and they hung me high,

4.      They buried me deep and they thought I gone,

5.      I live in you if you live in me,

           A                 D

1.      At Bethlehem I had my birth.

2.      They followed me and the dance went on.

3.      And left me there on the cross to die.

4.      But I am the dance and I still go on.

5.      I am the lord of the dance said he.

D                                                                                           A

Ref.:    Dance, dance wherever you may be             I am the lord of the dance said he

           D    G    D

And I´ll lead you all, wherever you may be

             A                      D        G     D

And i'll lead you all in the dance, said he.
