D-A-A7 -D (2x)

[D] They put a parking lot on a piece of [A]land, 
where the super[A7]market used to [D] stand.
Before that they put up a bowling [A] alley,
on the side that used to [A7] be the local [D] pally.
That’s where the [G] big bands used to come and [D] play,
my sister [A] went there on a Satur[D]day.

Come [G] dancing, all her boyfriends used to come and [D] call,
why not come [A] dancing, it’s [G]only natur [D] al.

D-A-A7-D

[D] Another Saturday, [A] another date,
she would be ready but she’s [A7] always make him [D] wait.
In the hallway, in anticip[A]ation,
he didn’t know the night would [A7] end up in frustr[D]ation.
He’d end up [G] blowing all his [D] wages fort the week,
[A] all for a cuddle and a [D] peck on the cheek.

Come [G] dancing, that’s how they did it when [D] I was just a kid,
and when they said come [A] dancing, my [G] sister always [D] did.

My [Bm] sister should have [A] come in at [G] midnight,
and my [Bm] mum would always [A] sit  up and [G] wait.
It [Bm] always ended [A] up in a [G] big brawl,
when my [Bm] sister used to [A] get home [G] late.

[D] Out of my window [A] I could see them in the [A7] moonlight,
[D] Two silhouettes saying good [A] night by the garden gate [A7] [D]

The [Bm] day they [A] knocked down the [G] pally, 
my [Bm] sister [A] stood and [G] cried,
the [Bm] day they [A] knocked down the [G] pally,       
[Bm] part of my [A] childhood [G] died,
just died.

Bm -A-G-A (3x)    + Bm -A-G     - D-A-A7  - D

 
[D] Now I’m grown up and [A] playing in a band,
and there’s a carpark where the [A7] pally used to [D] stand.
My sister’s [A] married and she lives on an estate,
her daughters go out, now it’s [A7] her turn to [D] wait.
She knows they [G] get away with things she never [D] could,
but if I [A] offered, I [D] wonder if she would.

Come [G] dancing, come on sister [D] have yourself a ball,
don’t be afraid to come [A] dancing, it’s [G]only natur [D] al.

where the [G] big bands used to [Bm] play.
