			     GHOST DANCE - Patti Smith
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: standard


     
  


what is it children 
              
that falls from the sky
            
tayi taye aye tayi aye aye


manna from heaven
          
from the most high

food from the father


tayi taye aye

(chorus)
         
we shall live again
               
we shall live....again
                    
shake out the ghost dance




peace to your brother
           
give and take peace
   
tayi taye aye 

it leaves two feet

one foot extended
          
snake to the ground

wave up the earth

one turn around

chorus


stretch out your arms
         
now tip and swing

rude up thy bird

tayi taye aye

threw out your shoe
      
over the soil

dust off the words

that shape from the tale

chorus


here we are father
       
your holy host
 
blood of thy blood
  
and ghost of thy ghost
 
we are the tears
                
that fall from your eyes

word of thy word
  
and cry of thy cry

chorus

             
what is it father 
                    
that snakes from the light
                     
what is it father
                      
that moves through the night
            
what is it father 
                
and tell me when father
            
will we live again

chorus


When i sing this, I'm singing patti's part, so the chords during the chorus follow that.
