I [G] danced on a Friday when the sky turned blackIt's [D7] hard to dance with the devil on your back

They [G] buried my body & they thought I'd gone

But [D7] I am the Dance & I [G] still go on!

I [D7] am the Life that'll never, never die!

I'll [G] live in you if you'll live in Me -

[D7] I am the Lord of the [G] Dance, said He! Chorus
