G They put a parking lot on a piece of land D G When 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 palais 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 All her boyfriends used to come and call D C G D G Why not come dancing, it's only natural? Another Saturday, another date She would be ready but she's always make him wait In the hallway, in anticipation He didn't know the night would end up in frustration He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week 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 And when they said come dancing C My sister always did Em D C My sister should have come home at midnight Em D C And my mom would always sit up and wait Em D C It always ended up in a big fight Em D C When my sister would get home late G D Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight G D G Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate Em D C The day they knocked down the palais Em D C My sister stood and cried Em D C The day they knocked down the palais Em D C Part of my childhood died, just died Now I'm grown up and playing in a band And there's a car park where the palais used to stand My sister's married and she lives on an estate Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait She knows they get away with things she never could But if I asked her I wonder if she would Chorus: Come dancing Come on sister, have yourself a ball Don't be afraid to come dancing It's only natural Come dancing Just like the palais on a Saturday And all her friends will come dancing Where the big bands used to play | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC  D  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
