[D]
[F#m] [G] [E]
[D] [Bm] [Em] [D] [A]
[D] [F#m] [G]
[D] [A] [Bm] [Em] [A] [D]
When your daddy plays [F#m] guitar, [G] you dance without [D] a smile
But you may [Bm] not have great [E] rhythm, but you sure [A] got style
[D] Just four years old and still it seems [G] you've got it figured [D] out
When daddy sings [Bm] and then you dance, people [A] clap [D] and shout
Cause you're my dancing boy [G] and it's so scary how [E] you just dance
[Bm] Just one look from you [E] and I come pouring out [A] like one
[D] Dancing [F#] boy, [G] I'm sure by now [E] that you must see
[Bm] Your dancing means much [A] more to me [G] than any [D] dream of mine
Yes, I'm so proud when you [F#] are with me that [G] my heart beats [D] fast
And when you start [Bm] to stretch your stuff, [E] my eyes will [A] water
[D] When I have to leave you home, [G] sometimes [D] it's a speed
Feeling with [Bm] my leaving, I [Em] leave far [A] too much [D] of me
Yes, you're my dancing [B] boy and [G] it's scary how [E] you just dance
[Bm] Just one look from you and I come [E] pouring out [A] like
[D] one
Dancing boy, [G] I'm sure by now [E] that you must see
[Bm] Your [A] dancing means [Bm] much more [F#m] to me [G] than any dream [D] of mine
Our dancing boy
[G] [D] [Em]
[D] [C#] [D] [A]
[D] [F#m] [G] [E]
[Bm] [Em] [Am] [D]
[E] You know the time will come, [G#m] my dancing boy, [A] when your dancing [E] leaves
And when daddy and [B] his dancing boy [F#] will have dwindled down [B] to one
[E] You know the world will have taught you all the steps [A] to match the march [E] of time
So you'll have to keep [C#m] our dancing days [F#m] dancing in [E] your mind
Yes, do your dancing [G#m] boy, cause it's [A] so scary how [F#] you just dance
[E] Just one look [C#m] from you and I [F#] come pouring out [Bm] like one
Do [E] your dancing [G#] boy, [D] I'm sure by now [F#] that you must see
[E] Your dancing means [C#m] much [G#m] more to me [A] than [B] any [E] dream of mine
Our [G#m] dancing boy
