Dance Till The Dawn
by Blayze

Am		C		F          E7
O chant for the lad with the flaming spear
Am		C		F          E7
Who rides the North wind to find the Red Deer
Am		C		F          E7
He rides the North wind in a chariot gold
Dm			    E7
To battle the shadow of enemies old
Am		C		F                  E7
O chant for the lass with the robe of bright hue
Am		          C	                F                  E7
Who draws the long bow of death bearing yew
Am		         C		     F          E7
She draws the long bow to the shadowy foe
Dm			        E7
And races the darkness to save the white doe

Chorus:
Am			D
Come lasses and lads, dance till the dawn
Am			               D
Across forests and fields and ripening corn
F			        G
Gather the flowers a-bloom in the hay
E7                                           Am
To welcome the Sun on Mid-Summer’s Day

Am		C		F          E7
O chant for the lad who draws down the Sun
Am		C		F          E7
Who summons the Summer as shadows doth run
Am		C		F          E7
Who summons the Summer in one vibrant call
Dm			        E7
And fights back the darkness with flame in his thrall
Am		C		F          E7
O chant for the lass who bore the bright child
Am		C		F          E7
Who challenged the darkness and elements wild

And shed the salt-tear at the foretold affray

Bridge:
G					Am
We danced round the stones when the Summer was young
G                 				Am
Ribbons still woven now bleached by the Sun
D                                            		Em
Grasses and flowers now wait for the Fae
F                                                                      E7
As we dance up the magic on Mid-Summer’s Day

To welcome the Sun on Mid-Summer’s Day
