They put a parking lot on a [Em] piece of land [D]
Where their supermarket [G] used to stand
Before that they put up a bowling [D] alley On the side that used to be the [G] local [C] parly
That's where the big [G] bands used to come and play
[D]
My sister went there [G] on a Saturday [C] Come dancing
All her [G] boyfriends used to come and call Why not [D] come dancing, [C] it's only [G] natural

Another Saturday, another date [D]
[Am] She would be ready [D] but she'd always [C] make him wait
[G]
In the hallway in anticipation [D]
He didn't know the night would end up [G] in frustration
[C]
He'd end up blowing [G] all his wages for the week [D]
Or for a [G] cuddle and a peck on the cheek
[C] Come dancing That's how they did it [G] when I was just a kid
And when they [D] said come dancing [C] My sister always [G] did
My [Bm] [D]

[G] [Em] sister [D] should have come [C] in at midnight [Em] And my mom would always sit [C] up and wait
[D] It always ended up [C] in a big row [Em] When my sister used to get [C] her right
[G]
[D] Out of my window I could see them in the moonlight [G] Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the [D] garden gate
The [G] [Em]
day they [C] knocked down the [Em] party My [A] sister stood [C] and cried
[D]
The day they [C] knocked down the [Em] party [Dm] One of my children [G] died, she [E] died

Now I'm grown up and playing in [D] a band Under the car park where the party [G] used to stand
My sister's married and she lives on an estate [D]
Her daughters go out, now it's her [G] turn to wait
[C]
She knows they'd get [G] away with things she never could [D]
But if I asked [G] her, I wonder if she would
[C] Come dancing Come on, Suze, [G] don't have yourself a fault
Don't be afraid [D] to come dancing [C] It's only [G] natural
