[Intro] G G G D G [Verse] 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 On the site that used to be G the local palais [Pre-Chorus] C That's where the G 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 Why not come dancing, C G D G it's only natural? [Verse] G Another Saturday, another date D She would be ready but G she's always make him wait G In the hallway, in anticipation D She didn't know the night would G end up in frustration [Pre-Chorus] C He'd end up blowing all G his wages for the week D All for a cuddle and a G peck on the cheek [Chorus] C Come dancing That's how they did it when G I was just a kid D And when they said come dancing C My sister always did [Instrumental] G D G G D G [Bridge] Em My sister should have D C come home at midnight Em And my mom would always D C 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 Two silhouettes saying goodnight by D G 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 [Instrumental] G D D G G D D G [Verse] G Now I'm grown up and playing in a band D And there's a car park where G the palais used to stand G My sister's married and she lives on an estate D Her daughters go out, G now it's her turn to wait [Pre-Chorus] C She knows they G get away with things she never could D But if I asked her G I wonder if she would [Chorus] C Come dancing Come on sister, G have yourself a ball D Don't be afraid to come dancing C It's only natural [Instrumental] G D G G D G [Chorus] C Come dancing G Just like the palais on a Saturday D And all her friends will come dancing C Em Where the big bands used to play [Ending] D# Bb D# D# Bb D#
