Em D My name is Mary
C I'm from Greenville, Mississippi
Em C This is where I live
C in this old folks' dormitory
Em G C Every Sunday night Sarah comes to see us
Em G She plays that old upright
C but Sarah always seems to leave us
Em D Em D C When she plays something comes over me
D Em C 'cause from my head all the way to my feet [Chorus]
G I wanna dance
Dm C I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance
C G D Em D C I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance
D All night
G I wanna dance
Dm C I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance
C G D Em D C I wanna listen to the music that's been ringin' in my ears
C G 'Cause one day I'm gonna dance right out of here [Verse 2]
Em C I had three girls and a boy
Continues after the ad
G C D but now one's gone off to heaven
Em G She's with her papa now
C D 'cause he left for lack of penicillin
Em G C And the older that I get I figure everyone is dyin'
Em G They're all dyin' for a change
C D And I know I'm dyin' for some action
Em D Em C Days like these, Sunday feels so far away
C D G So until then I'm gonna sit right here,
C And here I'll stay [Chorus]
G I wanna dance
Dm C I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance
C G D Em D C I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance
D All night
G I wanna dance
Dm C I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance
