INTRO:   G    D    Am    D    G    D    Am    D  Em  
GOne day on the rails, at the age of seventeen
CHungry for hoEm7rizons, I Amwandered off to dream
GNow I'm feeling settled, never lonely or alone
When I Cthink about the Em7places I can Amfreely call my homeG  
CHORUS:
Dance as you go, dance as you go
And you Cfind your heart is Em7lighter on the Amdark and dusty roadG  
Dance as you go, dance as you go
And you Cfind your feet are Em7lighter, get you Amthere before you know_Em___
The Gmornings when I didn't watch the light take to the skies
The Cworld entire would Em7turn to grey and Amright before my eyes
GPressure took to building and I was nearly cooked
'Til I Crealised simEm7plicity was Amwhat I overlookedG  
CHORUS:
Dance as you go, dance as you go
And you Cfind your heart is Em7lighter on the Amdark and dusty roadG  
Dance as you go, dance as you go
And you Cfind your feet are Em7lighter, get you Amthere before you know_Em___

              Em  D  G  C  Em  D  C  G  Em  D  G  C  G  D  C  G
Time rages ever onward, act of life is drawn
And Cdeeper still the Em7well of days that AmI can draw upon
GBirdsong on the breeze and a smile upon my face
CLife is full of Em7treasures no Amriches could replace, soG  
CHORUS:
Dance as you go, dance as you go
And you Cfind your heart is Em7lighter on the Amdark and dusty roadG

CAPO: 3rd Fret

G D Am D G D Am D Em

INTRO:

One day on the rails, at the age of seventeen

C Em7 Am

Hungry for horizons, I wandered off to dream

Now I'm feeling settled, never lonely or alone

C Em7 Am G

When I think about the places I can freely call my home

CHORUS:

Dance as you go, dance as you go

C Em7 Am G

And you find your heart is lighter on the dark and dusty road

Dance as you go, dance as you go

C Em7 Am Em

And you find your feet are lighter, get you there before you know____

The mornings when I didn't watch the light take to the skies

C Em7 Am

The world entire would turn to grey and right before my eyes

Pressure took to building and I was nearly cooked

C Em7 Am G

'Til I realised simplicity was what I overlooked

CHORUS:

Dance as you go, dance as you go

C Em7 Am G

And you find your heart is lighter on the dark and dusty road

Dance as you go, dance as you go

Time rages ever onward, act of life is drawn

C Em7 Am

And deeper still the well of days that I can draw upon

Birdsong on the breeze and a smile upon my face

C Em7 Am G

Life is full of treasures no riches could replace, so

CHORUS:

Dance as you go, dance as you go

C Em7 Am G

And you find your heart is lighter on the dark and dusty road

Dance as you go, dance as you go
