[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C
It was a grey cold Friday and I’d finished work
Nobody was left around
F
The doors were all closed and the lights all out
Everybody headed to town
G
So I went into the club and I ordered a drink
F
And something caught my eye
C
I saw you up there dancing like there was no tomorrow
Cause tomorrow we were gonna die
 
C
So I flashed you a smile and over you came
God you felt so alive
F
I got you a drink and we laughed a little
And I asked if you were alone that night
G
You said never not a chance I don’t go with drunks
F
Especially them that look like you
C
But we can dance our dance on this here floor
C
And tomorrow with someone new
 
[Chorus]
C
Because you dance to the rhythm you get a drink and spill em
Every night forget your worries and cares
F
You leave work at the door god it’s such a bore
And you gather up into pairs
G
And you swing that leg with the perfect eyes
F
Nobody wants you more
C
You say 1 2 3 oh won’t you come with me
C
And you walk right out that door
 
[Guitar Solo]

Come on come on everybody gather round
(Gather round)
F
It’s time to do the swing and then we’ll put the hammer down

And everybody gather round me for the weekend swing (weekend swing)
