[Intro]
D D

[Verse 1]
D G D
Midnight touch the black hills westward on the run
E7 A7
Crimson clouds to the eastward painted by the setting sun
D G D
Oh Jesse drove the pickup, I slept to the radio
A D
With some good time behind us and some good times to go

[Verse 2]
G D
Well we pulled into the station for some water and some gasoline
D
I jumped when I heard sweet Jesse
E7 A7
From the pump when she let out of scream
D G D
Oh come here quick I said hon grab your boots and comb your hair
A D
Do believe the fellow here's got an old pet dancin' bear

[Chorus]
G D G D
Dance dance Dakota dance dance until the break of day
D
Me and sweet Jesse ain't never seen
E7 A7
A bear like that dance that way
D
It's a one step two step three step four
G D
A bottle of soda and he'll dance some more
A7 G D
Dance dance Dakota dance dance around the country store

[Verse 3]
D
There was set up camp in the pick up
G D
And we stayed another day or two
D
Me and my baby were ramblin' around
E7 A7
We couldn't think of nothing better to do
D G D
Jesse blew the mouth harp Dakota done the buck and wing
A7 D
I broke all the strings on my Fender guitar and we began to sing

[Chorus]
G D G D
Dance dance Dakota dance dance until the break of day
D
Me and sweet Jesse ain't never seen
E7 A7
A bear like that dance that way
D
It's a one step two step three step four
G D
A bottle of soda and he'll dance some more
A7 G D
Dance dance Dakota dance dance around the country store
A7 G D
Dance dance Dakota dance dance around the country store
