Come  [C] dancing,                                                                    
That's how they did it when [G] I was just a kid,                                     
And when they said come  [D] dancing, my  [C] sister [D] always did.                  
                                                                                      
[Riff]                                                                                
                                                                                      
 [Em] My sister should have [D]  come in at mid [C] night, [C9]

 [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] My sister [D]  stood and  [C] cried. [C9]                                        
 [Em] The day they  [D] knocked down th [C] e 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 on sister,  [G] have yourself a ball.                                             
Don't be afraid to come  [D] dancing, it's o [C] nly na [D] tural.                     
[Riff]                                                                                 
                                                                                       
(The last chorus leads to a key change....)                                            
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             
notes for the finale...                                                                
Eb Bb Bb Eb x4 - Play standard sus4 pattern with x68886 x68896                                  
then Bb barr across middle 4 strings - 688886 688896 come back to Eb 2 beats early 10 to 8 on G 
 for final note of phrase                                                                       
 final run while playing Eb E - 6 8 10 then play Eb at 11th F shape

[Intro  - barre is dropped in intro - why feels odd - pattern xxX XxX]
[Ebm7]  [Ab7]Oo ooh [Db7maj9-x43444]heh hey [Gbmaj7-243322]ah

Drum into

[Verse 1 - try xxb BxB bass drum pattern]
(B) (S)Yeah It's a 
[Ebm7]wonder man can [Ab7]eat at all
When [Db7maj9] things are big that [Gbmaj7] should be small
[Cm7b5]Who can tell what [Bmaj7]magic spells
[Bb7#5] Will be doing [Ebm7] for us? .. And I'm 

[Ebm7] giving all my [Ab7] love to this world
[Dbmaj9] Only [Gbmaj7]to be told
[Cm7b5] I can't see, I [Bmaj7] can't breathe,
[Bb7#5] no more will we [Ebm7] be....And

(chord order changes - go to 2nd chord early)
[Ab7]nothing's going to change the [Dbmaj9]way we live
Cos' [Gbmaj7] we can always take but [Cm7b5] never give
An [Cm7b5] now that things're changing [Bb7#5] for the worse, see

[Ebm7] Woah, [Ab7] It's a crazy  
[Dbmaj9] world we're living in [Gbmaj7] 
And I just can't [Cm7b5] see that
Half of [Bmaj7] us immersed in [Bb7#5-6x677x] sin is 
(odd extra bars/chords?)
all we [Bb7] have to [Dm7b5-x5656x??] give these
 
[Chorus 1]
[Bmaj7] Futures [Ddim7-x5656x] made of [Ebm7]virtu - 
[Gbmaj7]al in [Abm7]sani - [Bb7]ty now
[Bmaj7] Always [Ddim7] seem to be [Ebm7] governed 
[Gbmaj7] by this [Abm7] love we [Bb7] have for
[Bmaj7] Useless, [Ddim7] twisting [Ebm7] of the

[Verse 2]
And I'm [Ebm7] thinking what a [Ab7] mess we're in
[Dbmaj9] Hard to know where [Gbmaj11] to begin
If [Cm7b5] I could slip the [Bmaj7] sickly ties
That [Bb7#5] earthly man has made .. And

[Bmaj7] Of her child [Bb7#5] that's not 
nature's [Ebm7] way 

(chord order changes - go to 2nd chord early)
Well [Ab7] that's what they said yester [Dbmaj9]  day 
There's [Gbmaj7] nothing left to do but [Cm7b5] pray 
[Bmaj7]  think it's time I found [Bb7#5] a new 
re [Dm7b5] ligion, 

[Ebm7] wo - ah, 
it's [Ab7sus4] so insane to [Dbmaj9] synthesize 
[Gbmaj11] nother strain

futures that we [Bb7#5] have to be [Dm7b5] told
