First start by tuning your 6th string to a D.
Then tune the whole guitar down 1/2 step
(not exact, but I think it's pretty close)
Intro:
pause...
Da,da,da,da,da da da
Da,da,da,da,da da da
[D6]On the bank of the Tennesse R[Esus/B]iver[Gmaj7]
In a small Kentucky t[A]own
[Bm]I drew my first breath one [Gmaj7]cold November morning
And bef[D]ore my feet even touched the g[F#m]round
With the doct[D]ors and the nurses gathered 'r[F#sus]ound
[F#m]I started to d[Bm]ance
I started to dance
Verse 1:
[D6]A little boy full of wide-eyed w[Esus/B]onder[Gmaj7]
Footloose and fancy f[A]ree
[Bm]But it would happen, as it [Gmaj7]does for every dancer
That I'd stum[D]ble on a truth I couldn't [F#m]see
And fi[D]nd a longing deep inside of [F#m]me, it said
Chorus:
[Bm]I am the heart, I need the heartbeat
[Gmaj7]I am the eyes, I need the sight
[Esus/B]I realize that I am just [Gmaj7]a body
I [A]need the life
[Bm]I move my feet, I go through the motions[Gmaj7]
But who'll give purpose to chance
[Esus/B]I am the dancer
I [Gmaj7]need the L[A]ord of the d[Bm]ance
Verse 2:
The world beneath us spins in circles
And this makes us twist and turn and sway
But we were made for more than rhythm with no reason
By the one who moves with passion and with grace
As He dances over all that He has made
