afraid to variate a little for flavor.
verse:
SOL
They put a parking lot on a piece of land
RE SOL
Where the supermarket used to stand
RE
Before that they put up a bowling alley
SOL
On the site that used to be the local pally
DO SOL
That's where the big bands used to come and play
RE SOL
My sister went there on a Saturday
DOhorus1
DO
Come dancin'
SOL
All her boyfriends used to come and call
RE DO SOL
Why not come dancin', it's only natural
verse:
SOL
Another Saturday, another date
RE SOL
She would be ready but she'd always make him wait
RE
In the hallway, in anticipation
SOL
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration.
DO SOL
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
RE SOL
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek
DOhorus2
DO
Come dancin'
SOL
That's how they did it when I was just a kid
RE DO SOL
And when they said come dancin', my sister always did
bridge:
MIm RE DO
My sister should have come in at midnight
RE MIm RE DO
And my mom would always sit up and wait
RE MIm RE DO
It always ended up in a big brawl
RE MIm RE DO
When my sister used to get home late
Note: Here I just softly tap-brush against the muffled strings in twos,
playing the chords.
SOL
Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight
RE SOL
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate
MIm RE DO
The day they knocked down the pally
RE MIm RE DO
My sister stood and cried
RE MIm RE DO
The day they knocked down the pally
D Em D C (tacet)
Part of my childhood died, just died.
then: Em D C D x3 (hard strums)
verse:
SOL
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band
RE SOL
And there's a car park where the pally used to stand
DO SOL
My sister's married and she lives on an estate
RE SOL
Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait
DO SOL
She knows they get away with things she never could
RE SOL
But if I asked her I wonder if she would
DOhorus3
DO
Come dancin'
SOL
Come on sister, have yourself a ball
RE DO SOL
Don't be afraid to come dancin', it's only natural
DO SOL
It's only natural
