[Verse 1]
D Cmaj7 D Em "Back Elk is sick and may be dying," D Cmaj7 D Said the old man to his wife Em D Cmaj7 D "Even now the Holy Man is singing Em Mat Wakan-Tanka spare his life."
[Verse 2]
D Cmaj7 D Black Elk was trance-like in a death sleep Em D Cmaj7 D He was dreaming of two men with flaming spears Em D Cmaj7 Who took him to a white plain high above the clouds D Em Left him alone and disappeared D G And then a bay horse stood before him D G And said, "Now my life history you shall see
[Chorus]
Bm C Am See how all the horses come dancing G Bm Em C G Dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing, wild and free Bm Em C G C G C Dancing, dancing, dancing, wild and free."
[Verse 3]
Em D Cmaj7 D Twelve black horses with manes of lightning in the night Em D Cmaj7 D With twelve white horses with white geese circling, thundering past Em D Cmaj7 And twelve sorrel horses with eyes like stars and manes of light D Em Twelve buckskins with horns on their heads and manes of grass D Cmaj7 Then the horses formed a line of four abreast Em D Cmaj7 D The bay horse turned his head West and he neighed Em D Cmaj7 And the sky was like a storm of thundering horses D Em And Little Black Elk was afraid D G Then the horses changed into all creatures D G Into every from of life that there can be
[Out-Chorus]
Bm C Am See how all the horses come dancing G Bm Em C G They come dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing, wild and free Bm Em Dancing, dancing
