The girl goes dancing there
    A augmentedA          BB
On the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth grass
    C# minorC#m
Of the garden
            F# minorF#m
Escaped from her bitter youth
          Bsus4Bsus4
Escaped out of her crowd
       BB
Or out of her black cloud

Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer

If strange men come from the house
  A augmentedA           BB
To lead her away, please, do not say
   C# minorC#m
She's crazy
         F# minorF#m
Lead them gently astray
          Bsus4Bsus4
Let her finish her dance
      BB
Finish her dance

Chorus:

E MajorE      A augmentedA     BB
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer
E MajorE      A augmentedA     BB
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer

I know, I know
