Come Dancing

G
They put a parking lot on a piece of
 land
D                               G
Where the supermarket used to stand.
  G
Before that they put up a bowling 
alley
D                             
On the site that used to be the 
     G
local Palais.
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

[Riff]

[Verse]
G
Another Saturday, another date.
D                                 
She would be ready but she's 
            G
always make them wait.
       G
In the hallway, in anticipation,
D                                 
He didn't know the night would end
       G
 up in frustration.
C                                 
He'd end up blowing all his wages 
        G
for the week
D                                  
All for a cuddle and a peck on the 
G
cheek.

[Chorus]
     C
Come dancing,
                       G
That's how they did it when I was 
just a kid,
                        D          
And when they said come dancing, my
 C             G
 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 intro)
 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

[Verse]
G
Now I'm grown up and playing in a 
band,
D                              
And there's a car park where the 
                G
pally used to stand.
            G
My sister's married and she lives on
 an estate.
D                                 
Her daughters go out, now it's her
         G
 turn to wait.
C                            G
She knows they get away with things 
she never could,
D                                  
But if I asked her I wonder if she 
G
would,

[Chorus]
     C
Come dancing,
                G
Come on sister, have yourself a 
ball.
                        D       
Don't be afraid to come dancing, 
       C     G
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.
