[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 slipped to the radio
                                       A           D
With some good time behind us and some good times ago

[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 well
       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 a better day or two
D
Me and my baby are 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 off 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 well
       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
