Come Dancing - The Kinks
(Backwards Strums)
GThey put a parking lot on a piece of Dland
DWhere the supermarket used to stGand.
BeGfore that they put up a bowlDing alley
DOn the site that used to be the locGal pally.
CThat's where the big bands usGed to come and play.
DMy sister went there on a GSaturday.
chorus:
Come Cdancing,
All her boyfriends Gused to come and call.
Why not come Ddancing? it's oCnly nGatural
riff
Another Saturday, another date.
She would be ready but she's always make them 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:
Come dancing,
That's how they did it when I was just a kid,
And when they said come dancing,
My sister always did.
riff
EmMy sister should haveD come in at midCnight,
EmAnd my mom would alwDays sit up and Cwait.
EmIt always enDded up in a bigC row
EmWhen my sister useDd to get home lCate.
This part is like the into:
(Gspoken) Out of my window I Dcan see them in the moonlight,
DTwo silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate. (Mom yelGls at them...)
EmThe day they Dknocked down the Cpally
EmMy sisterD stood and Ccried.
EmThe day they Dknocked down thCe pally
EmPart of my Dchildhood died,C just died.
(loud) Em D C D Em D C D Em D C D Em D C D
repeat intro: G D D G
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band,
And there's a car park where the pally 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.
The last chorus leads to a key change....
Come dancCing,
CJust like the pally oGn a Saturday.
And all her friends will come Ddancing
Where the biCg bands used to Emplay.
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...
repeat 4 times: Eb Bb Bb Eb
