Sweet Dancer chords by The Waterboys

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:

  E
The girl goes dancing there
    A          B
On the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth grass
    C#m
Of the garden
            F#m
Escaped from her bitter youth
          Bsus4
Escaped out of her crowd
       B
Or out of her black cloud

Chorus:

E      A     B
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer
E      A     B
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer

Verse 2:

      E
If strange men come from the house
  A           B
To lead her away, please, do not say
   C#m
She's crazy
         F#m
Lead them gently astray
          Bsus4
Let her finish her dance
      B
Finish her dance

Chorus:

E      A     B
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer
E      A     B
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer

Bridge:

  C#m
She sings as the moon sings
   B
I am I, I am I
  A
The greater grows my light
  E          E B
The further shall I fly
 C#m
I hear the wind a-blow
 B
I hear the grass a-grow
  A
And all that I know
 B
I know, I know

Verse 3:

The girl goes dancing there
    A          B

Let her finish the dance

Let her finish the dance

Finish the dance
