Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Come Dancing” dari The Kinks.

[Verse]
G
They put a parking lot on a piece of land
D                               G
Where the supermarket used to stand.
  G
Before that they put up a bowling alley
D                                  G
On the site that used to be the local Palais.
C                            G
That's where the big bands used to come and play.
D                           G
My sister went there on a Saturday.

[Chorus]
    C
Come dancing,
                    G
All her boyfriends used to come and call.
             D               C    G
Why not come dancing? it's only natural

[Riff]

[Verse]
G
Another Saturday, another date.
D                                           G
She would be ready but she's always make them wait.
         G
In the hallway, in anticipation,
D                                         G
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration.
C                                          G
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
D                                  G
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek.

[Chorus]
     C
Come dancing,
                        G
That's how they did it when I was just a kid,
                       D            C               G
And when they said come dancing, my sister always did.

[Riff]

Em                    D               C
My sister should have come in at midnight,
Em                  D                C
And my mom would always sit up and wait.
Em          D              C
It always ended up in a big row
Em                D               C
When my sister used to get home late.

(This part is like the intro)
G                            D
(spoken) Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight,
D                                                             G
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate. (Mom yells at them...)

Em            D                C
The day they knocked down the pally
Em        D         C
My sister stood and cried.
Em             D             C
The day they knocked down the pally
Em          D               C
Part of my childhood died, just died.

(loud) Em D C D Em D C D Em D C D Em D C D

(Repeat intro)
G D     D G

[Verse]
G
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band,
D                                             G
And there's a car park where the pally used to stand.
            G   
My sister's married and she lives on an estate.
D                                         G
Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait.
C                             G
She knows they get away with things she never could,
D                                    G
But if I asked her I wonder if she would,

[Chorus]
      C
Come dancing,
                 G
Come on sister, have yourself a ball.
                        D                 C   G
Don't be afraid to come dancing, it's only natural.

          C
Come dancing,
C                     G
Just like the pally on a Saturday.
                               D
And all her friends will come dancing
             C                 Em
Where the big bands used to play..
