What I'm going to do is tell you a song that is a true story.
It happened to me in [Bm] a bar when I was playing there about a year and a half ago.
And this is what happened.
[E] [Dm] I was [F] dancing in a nightclub one Friday [Dm] night
[A#] And [E] that nightclub [F#] bar was a little [Dm] uptight It was.
[F#] I was dancing all [Am] alone a little [G] self-conscious
Just [D] when [A] some kids came up and said, Jonathan, for dancing, come with us
[Dm] And soon I was [Am] dancing in the lesbian [Dm] bar
Oh, oh, I was [Am] dancing in the lesbian bar
Oh, [Dm] oh, oh
[A] Guitar!
[G] [A]
[G] [A]
Well, [G] [Am]
[D] [Am]
they took [Em] me to the lesbian [A] bar
In the industrial zone
They took [G] me to dance with [A] them
Or dance alone
[Dm] Well, the first bar it was
But [Am] in this bar, well, things were Friday night
[E] In the first bar, [F#] things were just all [Dm] right
In [E] this bar, things were Friday [Am] night
I was [G] dancing in the lesbian [Am] bar
Oh, oh, I was [G] dancing in the lesbian bar
Oh, [A] oh, let's try it Guitar!
[G] [A]
[F#] Well, that's a little low
Oh, well, you're a bit sad
You're a bit on [Am] a
Well, that's so [C#] a kind of
Oh, well, [A#] now, well
That's a little well now
That's a little well [A] now
[G] [Am] All right
Well, they took [G] me to the lesbian [A] bar Way downtown
They took [G] me to check the [A] scene
And hang around
Well, [Dm] in the first bar
Things were stop and stare
[A] But in this bar, oh, [F] whoa
Things were [A] laissez-faire
In the first bar, things were stop and stare
In this bar, things were laissez-faire
I was [G] dancing in the lesbian [A] bar Oh
[Dm] Well, in the first bar
Folks [D] were drinking sips
[A] But in this bar, oh, whoa
They could shake their hips
[E] In the first bar, they would drink a sip
In this bar, they could shake their hips
I was dancing in the lesbian [N] bar, oh, oh
I was dancing in the lesbian bar, oh, oh, oh
