intro: D D/F# G A x4
verse
D D/F# G A D D/F# G A
David's on his throne at sundown
His paper and his pen are in his hand
He's waiting on a song at sundown
As he gazes out across his holy land
chorus
Bm A G G A Bm
And he thinks of old Goliath and he smiles
D/F# G A Bm
He can barely keep from laughing
A G A Bm
He says, "great is the Lord and greatly to be praised"
A Em
He can hear the rivers clapping
D/F#
Well, they're still clapping
G D D/F# G A D D/F# G A
To the same old song and dance
verse
D D/F# G A D D/F# G A
Well the cadence of the sea is just as steady
And the chorus of the hills is just as strong
And the faithfulness of God is just as mighty as it was
When the shepherd slew the giant with a stone
chorus
Bm A G A Bm
You can close your eyes and listen to the sea
D/F# G A Bm
You can feel the holy rhythm
A G A Bm
Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised
A Em
For the mercy he has given
D/F#
Well, he's still giving
G A D D/F# G A D D/F# G A
It's the same old song and dance
chorus
Bm A G A Bm
I can hear creation singing his praise
D/F# G A Bm
That his love is everlasting
A G A Bm
It's the same as it was a million years ago
A Em
I can still hear David laughing
D
And the rivers are still clapping
Em D/F#
It's the same old song
G D D/F# G A
It's the same old song and dance
D D/F# G A D D/F# G A D
