Come Dancing Lyrics

CHORDS USED:
verse:
t t t t t t t t
afraid to variate a little for flavor.
verse:
They put a parking lot on a piece of land
Where the supermarket used to stand
Before that they put up a bowling alley
On the site that used to be the local pally
That's where the big bands used to come and play
My sister went there on a Saturday
chorus1:
Come dancin'
All her boyfriends used to come and call
Why not come dancin', it's only natural
verse:
Another Saturday, another date
She would be ready but she'd always make him wait
In the hallway, in anticipation
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration.
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek
chorus2:
Come dancin'
That's how they did it when I was just a kid
And when they said come dancin', my sister always did
bridge:
My sister should have come in at midnight
And my mom would always sit up and wait
It always ended up in a big brawl
When my sister used to get home late
playing the chords.
Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate
The day they knocked down the pally
My sister stood and cried
The day they knocked down the pally
D Em D C (tacet)
Part of my childhood died, just died.
then: Em D C D x3 (hard strums)
verse:
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band
And there's a car park where the pally used to stand
My sister's married and she lives on an estate
Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait
She knows they get away with things she never could
But if I asked her I wonder if she would
chorus3:
Come dancin'
Come on sister, have yourself a ball
Don't be afraid to come dancin', it's only natural
It's only natural
END WITH A QUICK: D G (and maybe add a bit of vibrato to the ending G)
