Come	dancing,

	G
All her boyfriends	used to come and call.

	D	C	G
Why not come	dancing? it’s	only	natural

riff

Another Saturday, another date.

She would be ready but she’s always make them wait.

In the hallway, in anticipation,

He didn’t know the night would end up in frustration.

He’d end up blowing all his wages for the week

All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek.

Come dancing,

That’s how they did it when I was just a kid,

And when they said come dancing,

My sister always did.

riff

Em	D	C
My sister should have	come in at	midnight,

Em	D	C
And my mom would	always sit up and	wait.

Em	D	C
It always	ended up in a big	row

Em	D	C
When my sister	used to get home	late.

This part is like the into:

	G	D
(	spoken) Out of my window I	can see them in the moonlight,

D	G
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate. (Mom	yells at them...)

Em	D	C
The day they	knocked down the	pally

Em	D	C
My sister	stood and	cried.

Em	D	C
The day they	knocked down	the pally

Em	D	C
Part of my	childhood died,	just died.

(loud) Em D C D Em D C D Em D C D Em D C D

repeat intro: G D D G

Now I’m grown up and playing in a band,

And there’s a car park where the pally used to stand.

My sister’s married and she lives on an estate.

Her daughters go out, now it’s her turn to wait.

She knows they get away with things she never could,

But if I asked her I wonder if she would,

Come dancing,

Come on sister, have yourself a ball.

Don’t be afraid to come dancing,

It’s only natural.

The last chorus leads to a key change....

	C
Come	dancing,

C	G
Just like the pally	on a Saturday.

	D
And all her friends will come	dancing

	C	Em
Where the	big bands used to	play.

Hold the Em for two measures, then modulate to the key of Eb. This is the

same riff as before, played in Eb. Perhaps someone out there can write the

notes for the finale...

repeat 4 times: Eb Bb Bb Eb
