They put a parking lot on a [Fm] piece of land [Eb] Where the supermarket [Ab] used to stand
Before that they put up a [Eb] bowling alley [Eb] On the side that used to be the [F] local [Db] parly
That's where the big [Ab] band used to come and play
[Eb] My sister went [Ab] there on a [Gb] Saturday [Db] Come dancing
All her [Ab] boyfriends used to come and call Why not [Eb] come dancing, [Db] it's [Fm] only [Ab] natural
[Eb] [Ab]
Another Saturday, another day She [Bbm] would be ready [Eb] but she'd always [Db] make him wait
[Ab] In the hallway in [Eb] anticipation He didn't know the night would end up [Ab] in frustration
[Db] He'd end up blowing [Ab] all his wages for the week [Eb] Or for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek
[Db] Come dancing That's how they did it [Ab] when I was just a kid
And when they said [Eb] come dancing [Db] My sister always [Ab] did

[Fm] My sister should [Eb] have come in at [Db] midnight [Fm] And my mom would [Cm] always sit up and wait
[Fm] It always [Eb] ended up in a big [Fm] row When my sister [Eb] used to get her night
[Ab]
[Eb] Out of my window I could see them in the moonlight [Ab] Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the [Eb] garden gate
The [Ab]
[Fm] day they knocked [Db] down the parling [Fm]
My sister stood [Db] and cried

The day they knocked [Db] down the [Fm] parling One of my children [Db] died, she [F] died

Now I'm grown up and playing in a [Eb] band Under the car park where the [Ab] parley used to stand
My sister's married and she lives on an estate [Eb] Her daughter's go out now it's [Ab] her turn to [Db] wait
She knows together [Ab] we would think she never could [Eb] But if I asked [Ab] her I wonder if she would
[Db] Come dancing Come on sister [Ab] have yourself a ball
Don't be afraid [Eb] to come dancing [Db] It's only [Fm]

[Ab] [Cm]
