 [Em] It always ended [D] up in a [C] big row [C9]                                    
 [Em] When my sister used to [D] get home [C] late. [C9]                              
                                                                                       
(This part is like the intro G D D G played straight 1 bar each - played twice - "ooos"
(spoken) Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight,                             
 Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate. (Mom yells at them...)           
                                                                                       
 [Em] The day they  [D] knocked down the  [C] pally [C9]

 [Em] Part of my  [D] childhood died, [C]  just died. [C9]

[Verse]                                                                                
 [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,

Come danc [C] ing,                                                                     
 [C] Just like the pallyyyyy o [G] n a Saturday.                                       
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
