[Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] [Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] They put a parking lot on a [Ebm] piece of land
[Bbm] Where the [Eb] supermarket [Ab] used to stand
Before that they put up a [Eb] bowling alley
On the side that used to be the local [Db] party
That's [Ab] where the big band used to come and play
[Eb] My [Ab] sister went there on a [Db] Saturday Come dancing
All [Ab] her boyfriends used to come and go
[Eb] Why not come [Db] dancing
It's only [Ab] natural
[Eb] [Ab]
Another Saturday, [Bbm] another day
She would be ready but she'd always [Ab] make him wait
In the hallway, in [Eb] anticipation
He didn't know that [Ab] night would end up [Db] in frustration
He'd end up blowing [Ab] all his wages [Eb] for the week
Or [Ab] for a cuddle and a peck on the [Db] cheek Come dancing
That's [Ab] how they did it when I was just a kid
And [Eb] when they said come [Db] dancing
My sister always [Ab] did
[Cm] [Eb]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm] [Eb] My sister should [Db] have come in at [Fm] midnight
Or my [Eb] mom would [Db] always sit up [Fm] and wait
It [Eb] always [Bbm] ended up in [Ab] a big row
Where my sister used to get her legs
[Eb] Out of my window I could see them in [Ab] the moonlight
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the [Eb] garden gate
[Ab] [Cm] The day [Db] they knocked [Ab] down the piling
My sister stood and cried
The day they knocked down the piling
While my children died, just died
[Db] [Eb] [F]
[Db] [Eb] [F] [Db] [Eb] [F]
[Db] [Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm] Now I'm grown up and [Eb] playing in a band
[Bbm] Under the pop-up where the [Ab] pallings stand
My sister's married and she lives on her own estate
[Eb] Her daughters go out and wait for [Db] her turn to wait
She knows that together [Ab] we would think she never could
[Eb] But if I asked [Ab] her I wonder if she would [Db] Come dancing
[Ab] Come on sister, have a supper thought
But we pray you [Eb] come dancing
[Db] It's only [Ab] natural
[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [C] [Db] Come dancing
Just like the [Ab] party on a Saturday
And all your friends [Eb] will come dancing
[Db] On the big [Fm] band used to play
