(Bob: These are the chords to the appalachian shape-note hymn melody  borrowed  for it contained in Westerfilk 2 rather than Simple Gifts.)

This is what happens when Cathy Cook MacDonald leads Lord of the Dance in
a crowded filk room.

We

Am danced

on the tables and we

G danced

on the chairs.

We

Am danced

on the instruments, ig

G nor

ing angry

E7 glares

.

We

Am danced

near some filkers, and we

Dm danced

on their feet,

And we

Am danced

as we

G beat

a fast retreat.

Am Dance

, dance, wher

G ever

you may

Am be

.

Even if there isn’t

D room

,  said

E she

.

But I’ll

Am dance

on

G you

if you

Dm dance

on

E me

!

Still, I

Am think

you all ought to

G dance

,  said

Am she
