GThey put a parking lot on a piece of land DWhere the supermarket used to stGand. BeGfore that they put up a bowling 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 [Verse]
GAnother Saturday, another date. DShe would be ready but she's always make them Gwait. In the Ghallway, in anticipation, DHe didn't know the night would end up in Gfrustration. CHe'd end up blowing all his wages for the Gweek DAll for a cuddle and a Gpeck on the cheek.
[Chorus]
Come Cdancing, That's how they did it Gwhen I was just a kid, And when they said come Ddancing, my Csister always Gdid.

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.

GNow I'm grown up and playing in a band, DAnd there's a car park where the pally used to Gstand. My sister's Gmarried and she lives on an estate. DHer daughters go out, now it's her turn to Gwait. CShe knows they get away with things she never Gcould, DBut if I asked her I Gwonder if she would,
[Chorus]
Come Cdancing, Come on sister, Ghave yourself a ball. Don't be afraid to come Ddancing, it's Conly Gnatural.
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 Chris
