           (Dm)                                     Dm - Gm
Well I was dancing at a night-club one Friday night
(Gm)                                   Dm
And that night-club bar was a little uptight
                                       Am
Yeah, I was dancing all alone a little self-conscious
          Gm
When some kids came up and said, "for dancing, come with us"
