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

 [G] Now I'm grown up and playing in a band,                                           
 [D] And there's a car park where the pally used to  [G] stand.                        
My sister's  [G] married and she lives on an estate.                                   
[D] Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to  [G] wait.                              
 [C] She knows they get away with  [G] things she never could,                         
 [D] But if I asked her I [G] wonder if she would,                                     
                                                                                       
[Chorus]                                                                               
Come  [C] dancing,

And all her friends will come  [D] dancing                                             
Where the bi [C] g bands [D] used to  [Em] 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

 final run while playing Eb E - 6 8 10 then play Eb at 11th F shape
