Album: I Hope You Dance

Written by:  Mark D. Sanders\Tia Stillers

Note: This song was played faster then it was recording by the radio

station, but I'm pretty sure this is the key.



 I HOPE YOU DANCE    Lee Ann Womack with the Sons Of The Desert



F    Eb              F                 Bb   

  I hope you never lose your sense of wonder

              Eb               F                Bb                

You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger

         Eb            

May you never take one single breath for granted

         F

God for-bid love ever leave you empty handed

F             Eb                         F               Bb

  I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean

         Eb              F                Bb

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens

        Eb             

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance

              F       

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

             Eb   F             Bb     Eb  F 

I hope you dance    I hope you dance

F             Eb                  F              Bb         

  I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance

       Eb            F                 Bb  

Ever settle for the path of least re-sistance

        Eb

Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking

           F                    

A loving heart may be a mistake but it's worth making

      Eb                  F               Bb 

Don't let some helpless heart leave you bitter

        Eb                    F       Bb

If you come close to selling out re-consider

           Eb                

Give the heavens above more then just a passing glance

              F                                                  Bb  

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance   I hope you dance-ance

(Backup vocals)

  Bb        Eb                E            Bb             Eb         F    

-ance-ance                                 I hope you dance

(Time is a wheel in constant motion Always know that why Love's so strong)

         Bb            Eb                  F  

            I hope you dance

(Tell me who wants to look back on their youth) 

F               Bb         Eb         F     

             I hope you dance

(and wondered where those years have gone )

            Eb                         F               Bb

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean

Eb              F                Bb

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens

        Eb             

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance

              F       

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Eb     F              Eb   F             Bb 

Dance    I hope you dance    I hope you dance

Ending repeat the backup vocals area to fade
