[Intro 1]
[Fade in]
[E][E][B][B][E]
[E][E][B][B][E]

[Verse 1]
[E]They put a parking lot on a piece of land
[B]When the supermarket used to sta[E]nd
Before that they put up a bowling alley
[B]On the site that used to be the local pal[E]ais
[A]That's where the big bands
[E]used to come and play
[B]My sister went there on [E]a Saturday

[Chorus 1]
Come [A]dancing
All her boyfriends [E]used to come and call
Why not come [B]dancing, it's [A]only natural?

[Interlude 1]
[E][E][B][B][E]

[Verse 2]
[E]Another Saturday, another date
[B]She would be ready
but she'd always make them [E]wait
In the hallway, in anticipation
[B]He didn't know
the night would end up in frus[E]tration
[A]He'd end up blowing
all his [E]wages for the week
[B]All for a cuddle
and a [E]peck on the cheek

[Chorus 2]
Come [A]dancing
That's how they did it when [E]I was just a kid
And when they said come [B]dancing
My [A]sister always did

[Interlude 2]
[E][E][B][B][E]
[E][E][B][B]

[Bridge 1]
My [C#m]sister should have [G#m]come in a m[A]idnight
And my [C#m]mum
would always [G#m]sit up and wa[A]it
It [C#m]always ended [G#m]up in a big[A] row
When my [C#m]sister used to [G#m]get home la[A]te
[E]Out of my [B]window
I can see them in the moonlight
Two [E]silhouettes saying goodnight
by the gar[B]den [E]gate
The [C#m]day they kn[G#m]ocked down the pa[A]lais
My [C#m]sister [G#m]stood and [A]cried
[C#m]The day they knocke[G#m]d down the palais[A]
[C#m]Part of my childh[G#m]ood died, [A]just died

[Interlude 3]
[C#m][G#m][A][B]
[C#m][G#m][A][B]
[C#m][G#m][A][B]
[C#m][G#m][A]
[E][B][B][E]

[Verse 3]
[E]Now I'm grown up and playing in a band
[B]And there's a car park
where the palais used to [E]stand
My sister's married and she lives on an estate
[B]Her daughters go out,
now it's her turn to [E]wait
[A]She knows they get away
with [E]things she never could
[B]But if I asked her I won[E]der if she would

[Chorus 3]
Come [A]dancing
Come on sister, [E]have yourself a ball
Don't be afraid to come [B]dancing
It's [A]only natural

[Interlude 4]
[E][E][B][B][E]
[E][E][B][B][E]

[Chorus 4]
Come [A]dancing
Just like the palais [E]on a Saturday
And all your friends will come [B]dancing
Where the [A]big bands used to [C#m]play

[Interlude 5]
