[Verse 1]
E
The girl goes dancing there
A B
On the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth grass
C#m
Of the garden
F#m
Escaped from her bitter youth
Bsus4
Escaped out of her crowd
B
Or out of her black cloud
[Chorus]
E A B
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer
E A B
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer
[Verse 2]
E
If strange men come from the house
A B
To lead her away, please, do not say
C#m
She's crazy
F#m
Lead them gently astray
Bsus4
Let her finish her dance
B
Finish her dance
[Chorus]
E A B
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer
E A B
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer
[Bridge]
C#m
She sings as the moon sings
B
I am I, I am I
A
The greater grows my light
E E B
The further shall I fly
C#m
I hear the wind a-blow
B
I hear the grass a-grow
A
And all that I know
B
I know, I know
[Verse 3]
E
The girl goes dancing there
A B
On the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth grass
C#m
Of the garden
F#m
Let her finish the dance
Bsus4
Let her finish the dance
B
Finish the dance
[Chorus]
E A B
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer
E A B
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer
E A B
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer
E A B
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer
