[Intro]
C# | B D | C#m | D |
[Verse 1]
N.C. D G
It was now the only place open late
N.C. D G
Playing loud music in questionable taste
N.C. D G
She asked me to dance and I said: 'OK'
N.C. D G
I slipped into the groove and was doing great
D G
We didn't say much, I gurned and grinned
D G
She looked so fresh and there was me tinned
D G
I said to her: 'Tell me about you'
D A#
She said: 'I know more than you think I do'
[Chorus]
D#
Memories may be beautiful and yet
F
There are some things that I'd rather forget
D#
Singing along with everything from Chic to ABBA
Cm C
It's probably time for me to do the decent thing and get a cab
F C F D#
And blasting in my ears, it's 'Dancing Queen'
Cm F
My co-ordination's fantastic
C F
And I'm looking older than I feel
F | F | A# | D | G D |
C#m | B D | C#m | C# D |
[Verse 2]
N.C. D G
We danced for a while and though I'm chunky
N.C. D G
It has never stopped me feeling funky
N.C. D G
She mentioned someone from long ago
N.C. D G
I said: 'What a surprise, do say: 'Hello'
D G
And it put a stop to my dreams
D G
With me and her and custard creams
D G
Her friends were leaving, they say she should come
D G
She said: 'I'll remember you to my Mum'
[Chorus]
D#
Memories may be beautiful and yet
F
There are some things that I'd rather forget
D#
Singing along with everything from Chic to ABBA
Cm C
It's probably time for me to do the decent thing and get a cab
F C F D#
And blasting in my ears, it's 'Dancing Queen'
Cm F
My co-ordination's fantastic
C F
And I'm looking older than I feel
C F C F
Blasting in my ears, it's 'Le Freak' say Chic
C F
Ain't you got no homes to go to
C F
As the lights go on at Up The Creek
[Outro]
