Come Dancing

Note: This song uses some tricky 
time signatures...listen carefully 
to the
song to changes chords at the right 
time.

Intro: The key here is to emphasize 
the up-strum...this is played on a 
12
string, I believe...

 G    D    D   G

Riff: These intro chords repeat with
 the horn line. This can be easily
played within the chords of G and 
D......G: start at the note of D, 
and
climb to G, then B, then D. Play 3 
Ds, then 2 Cs, and a B. Then play a
similar line over the D chord, from 
D to F# to A to D, before walking 
down
to the G note.

G                                 
They put a parking lot on a piece 
   D
of land
D                               G
Where the supermarket used to stand.
  G                           D
Before that they put up a bowling 
alley
D                             
On the site that used to be the 
     G
local pally.
C                            G
That's where the big bands used to 
come and play.
D                         G
My sister went there on a Saturday.

chorus:
     C
Come dancing,
                   G
All her boyfriends used to come and 
call.
             D              C 
Why not come dancing? it's only 
   G
natural

Another Saturday, another date.
She would be ready but she's always 
make them 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.

chorus:

Come dancing,
That's how they did it when I was 
just a kid,
And when they said come dancing,
My sister always did.

riff

Em                   D           
My sister should have come in at 
   C
midnight,
Em                  D             
And my mom would always sit up and 
 C
wait.
Em          D              C
It always ended up in a big row
Em                D          
When my sister used to get home 
    C
late.

This part is like the into:
 G                          D
(spoken) Out of my window I can see 
them in the moonlight,
D                                 
Two silhouettes saying goodnight 
                           G
by the garden gate. (Mom yells at 
them...)
Em           D                C
The day they knocked down the pally
Em       D          C
My sister stood and cried.
Em           D              C
The day they knocked down the pally
Em         D              C
Part of my childhood died, just 
died.

(loud) Em D C D  Em D C D Em D C D 
Em D C D

repeat intro:   G   D       D       
G

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,

chorus:

Come dancing,
Come on sister, have yourself a 
ball.
Don't be afraid to come dancing,
It's only natural.

The last chorus leads to a key 
change....
         C
Come dancing,
C                    G
Just like the pally on a Saturday.
And all her friends will come 
D
dancing
            C               Em
Where the big bands used to play.

Hold the Em for two measures, then 
modulate to the key of Eb. This is 
the
same riff as before, played in Eb. 
Perhaps someone out there can write 
the
notes for the finale...

repeat 4 times:      Eb     Bb      
 Bb       Eb
