[Intro] |Dm |Dm |Dm |Am Dm | [Verse 1]
Dm
John Carter told me he saw her

                    Am                Dm
Outside his window, dancing alone one night
He got a feeling she was dancing with his father
Am                                     Dm
When he asked her, she told him he was right
[Chorus]
Dm
When Loretta Lynn goes dancing
With the ghost of Johnny Cash Father Time takes forever
                         Am                  Dm
And to make it look like less than lightning flash
Violins bow into fiddles Two iconic symbols crash When Loretta Lynn goes dancing
         Am              Dm
With the ghost of Johnny Cash
[Verse 2]
Dm
They called her "Coal Miner's Daughter"

                           Am           Dm
"The Man in Black" was what they called him
She comes from ol' Butcher Holler
                                 Am                  Dm
He can hear that train a-coming, a-coming around the bend
[Chorus]
Dm
When Loretta Lynn goes dancing
With the ghost of Johnny Cash Father Time takes forever
                         Am                  Dm
And to make it look like less than lightning flash
Violins bow into fiddles Two iconic symbols crash When Loretta Lynn goes dancing
         Am              Dm
With the ghost of Johnny Cash
[Bridge]
       G             Dm
Like a song into the ether

       G             Dm
Like a soul into the light

     G
John Carter, he told me he saw her

        Am                                     Dm
She was out there dancing again that very next night

When Loretta Lynn goes dancing

And to make it look like less than lightning flash

With the ghost of Johnny Cash
