DANCING NANCIES  (Dave Matthews)  [acoustic live with Tim Reynolds]   [AL#13]

Easy version, ok for beginners.

intro: G5 F#5 (pick or p.m.)
I wonder if maybe I could have been a comedian or something
Or maybe I could have been a doctor
And then I could make anyone laugh
Or could I have been somebody
Other than myself
I wonder sometimes
I wonder

verse: G F#
G                  F#                G
He stands touch his hair his shoes untied
         F#
Tongue gaping stare
                    G          F#
Could I have been a magnet for money?
                  G                 F#
Could I have been anyone other than me?

G                   F#
Twenty three and so tired of life
G                               F#
Such a shame...to throw it all away
                G            F#
The images grow darker still
                  G                 F#
Could I have been anyone other than me?

And then I...   (*)

chorus:
                 D*
I look up at the sky
                     A*             D*
And my mouth is open wide, lick and taste
                  A*       D*                 A*
What's the use in worrying? What's the use in hurrying?
D*             F#            G*
Turn, turn, we almost become dizzy

verse:  G  F# (4x)
G        F#         G                 F#
I am who I am who I am, well...who am I?
                  G       F#
Requesting some enlightenment
                  G                 F#
Could I have been anyone other than me?

And then I'll...

bridge:
Bm                    D              A
Sing and dance...I'll play for you tonight
              C#m
The thrill of it all
Bm              D              A
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
              C#m
But I'll work it out

And then I... (*)


chorus:
                      D*
Will I look up at the sky
                     A*             D*
And my mouth is open wide, lick and taste
                  A*       D*                 A*
What's the use in worrying? What's the use in hurrying?
D*             F#            G*
Turn, turn, we almost become dizzy

verse:  G  F# (4x)
G                F#          G        F#
Falling out of a world of lies
                          G           F#      G         F#
Well, could I have been a Dancing Nancy?
  G           F#                                  G         F#
A Dancing Nancy...(ooh, I could have been anyone)
                  G                 F#
Could I have been anyone other than me?

And then I'll...
