Come Dancing - The Punters

(Backwards Strums)

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

Chorus:
   C majorC
Come dancing,
          G+G
Come on sister, have yourself a ball.
       D MajorD       C majorC  G+G
Why not come dancing? it's only natural

riff

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

Chorus:
  C majorC
Come dancing,
              G+G
That's how they did it when I was just a kid,
            D MajorD      C majorC      G+G
And when they said come dancing, My sister always did.

riff

E minorEm          D MajorD       C majorC
My sister should have come in at midnight,
E minorEm         D MajorD       C majorC
And my mom would always sit up and wait.
E minorEm     D MajorD       C majorC
It always ended up in a big row
E minorEm        D MajorD       C majorC
And my sister used to get her way

 G+G             D MajorD
(spoken) Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight,
D MajorD                   G+G            G+G
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate. (Mom yells at them...)

E minorEm      D MajorD        C majorC
The day they knocked down the pally
E minorEm    D MajorD     C majorC
My sister stood and cried.
E minorEm      D MajorD       C majorC
The day they knocked down the pally
E minorEm     D MajorD     C majorC
Part of my childhood died

G+G
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band,
D MajorD                      G+G
They're parking cars where the pally used to stand
G+G
My sister's married and she lives down in the states
D MajorD                     G+G
Her girls go out now it's her turn to wait.
C majorC                 G+G
She knows they get away with things she never could,

But if I asked her I wonder if she would,

Chorus:
C majorC
Come dancing,
        G+G
Come on sister, have yourself a ball.
       D MajorD     C majorC   G+G
Why not come dancing, It's only natural.
     C majorC
Come dancing,
C majorC          G+G
Down at the pally on a Saturday.
         D MajorD         C majorC       E minorEm
