Come Dancing - The Punters

(Backwards Strums)

G
They put a parking lot on a piece of land
D G
Where the supermarket used to stand.
G
Before that they put up a bowling alley
D G
On the site that used to be the local pally.
C G
That's where the big bands used to come and play.
D G
My sister went there on a Saturday.

[Chorus]
C
Come dancing,
G
Come on sister, have yourself a ball.
D C G
Why not come dancing? it's only natural

riff

G
Another Saturday, another date.
D G
She would be ready but she's always make them wait.
G
In the hallway, in anticipation,
D G
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration.
C G
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
D G
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 C G
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
And my sister used to get her way

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

Em D C D Em D C D Em D C D Em D C D

G
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band,
D G
They're parking cars where the pally used to stand
G
My sister's married and she lives down in the states
D G
Her girls go out now it's her turn to wait.
C G
She knows they get away with things she never could,

But if I asked her I wonder if she would,

[Chorus]
C
Come dancing,
G
Come on sister, have yourself a ball.
D C G
Why not come dancing, It's only natural.
C
Come dancing,
C G
Down at the pally on a Saturday.
D C Em
Why not come dancing, Where the big bands used to play.
