[G] [D]
[G]
[D] [G] [C]
[G] [D] [G] They put a parking lot [Em] on a piece of [D] land Where their [G] supermarket used to stand
Before that they put up a bowling [D] alley On the side that used to [G] be the local [C] pally
That's where the [G] big bands used to come and [D] play
My sister [G] went there on a Saturday
[C] Tongue dancing, all of her [G] friends used to come and go
Why [D] not tongue dancing, [G] it's only natural
Another [D] [G]
[D]
[G] Saturday, another [Am] day
She would be ready but she'd always make him [G] wait
In the hallway in [D] anticipation
He didn't know the night would [G] end up in [C] frustration
He'd end up [G] blowing all his wages for the [D] week
Or for a [G] cuddle and a [C] peck on the cheek Tongue dancing
That's how they [G] did it when I was just a kid
And when they [D] said tongue dancing, [C] my [Em] sister [G] always did
[C]
[Bm] [D] [G]
[D] [Am] [Em] My [D] sister should have [C] come in at [G] midnight
And my mom [Bm] would always sit [C] up and [G] wait
It [Bm] always ended [C] up in a [Em] big row
When my [D] sister used to [C] get her [G] rent
[D] Out of my window I could see them in the [G] moonlight
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by [D] the garden gate
The [G] [D] day they [G] knocked down the pally
My sister stood and cried
The day they knocked down the pally
One of my children died, [Em] just died
[D] [C]
[E] Now [C] [E] [D] [C]
[E] [D] [C] [G] [D]
[G] I'm grown up and playing [D] in a band
[Am] And there's a pop-up where the pally [G] used to stand
My sister's married and she lives on an [D] estate
Her daughter's got a house [G] and she's working
[C] She knows [G] they get away with things she [D] never could
But if [G] I asked her I wonder if [C] she would Come dancing
Who wants [G] to stay and have a supper ball
Don't be [D] afraid to come [C] dancing
[Em] It's only [G] natural
Come [Bm] [D]
[B] [G] [D]
[G] [C] dancing
Just [G] like the pally on a Saturday
I [D] know your friends will come [C] dancing
[Em] On the big band you prepare
