Come Dancing

[Verse 1]
G
 They put a parking lot on a piece of land
D                              G
 Where the supermarket used to stand
Before that they put up a bowling alley
D                                      G
 On the site that used to be the local Palais

[Pre-Chorus]
C                               G
 That's where the big bands used to come and play
D                       G       G7
 My sister went there on a Saturday

[Chorus]
     C
Come dancing
                       G
All her boyfriends used to come and call
             D
Why not come dancing?
     C
It's only natural

[Verse 2]
G
 Another Saturday, another date
D                                              G
 She would be ready but she's always make them wait
In the hallway in anticipation
D                                             G
 He didn't know the night would end up in frustration

[Pre-Chorus]
C                           G
 He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
D                       G                G7
 All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek

[Chorus]
     C
Come dancing
                             G
That's how they did it when I was just a kid
                        D
And when they said come dancing
   C
My sister always did

[Bridge]
G D G D
G   Em                 D          C
 My sister should have come in at midnight
    D     Em             D          C
And my mum  would always sit up and wait
D   Em           D       C
 It always ended up in a big row
D       Em             D        C
When my sister used to get home late

[Interlude]
G       D
 Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight
G                                              D
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate

[Bridge]
G    Em       D                C     D
 The day they knocked down the Palais
   Em     D         C    D
My sister stood and cried
Em             D                C     D
  The day they knocked down the Palais
Em           D         C
  Part of my childhood died, just died

[Verse 3]
G
 Now I'm grown up and playing in a band
D                                                G
 And there's a car park where the Palais used to stand
My sister's married and she lives on an estate
D                                          G
 Her daughters go out now it's her turn to wait

[Pre-Chorus]
C                             G
 She knows they get away with things she never could
D                     G             G7
 But if I asked her I wonder if she would

[Chorus]
     C
Come dancing
                   G
Come on sister have yourself a ball
                        D
Don't be afraid to come dancing
     C
It's only natural

[Bridge]
G D G D G     C
         Come dancing

[Chorus]
                       G
Just like the Palais on a Saturday
                              D
And all her friends will come dancing
          C                     Em
Where the big bands used to play
