The Dancing Floor

INTRO: C    F  C  G  C  F  C    F  C  G  C  F  C  G    C

           F        C        G         C        F
Beside the braes of dawn one clear new morning
                      C
Down where the lilies stood in bloom
            F            C        G       C      F
I knew that I was just a stranger in this world
            G      C
A wind just passing through


      F        C              G      C      F
So we dared to stray in these golden ways
                             C
We never, never knew what to do
        F                  C                  G       C    F
And the world kept coming, screaming all it's news at me
          G             C
Well, now I've got news for you


CHORUS 1:
                                G       C      F
So, let me take you down to the dancing floor
                       C
You can walk out on the crowd
       F                             G            C  F
Let us waltz away what's left of the living years
       G              C
In celebration of the loved


CHORUS 2:
                                       G       C      F
It's all glitz and sparkle down on the dancing floor
                      C
We can turn our lives around
     F                             G             C  F
Just leave behind that wretch that you have been
          G               C
With that fool that I'd become


              F           C            G               C       F
No, nothing's all that it seems in the strands and the weaves
                            C
Our steps renewed, our lips confess
        F               C          G       C       F
We were stranded at the alter of unknown delights
            G            C
Down on the road to happiness


           F        C         G        C      F
And as the sunlight fills the highland hills
                         C
It's all become so clear somehow
         F       C             G       C    F
That the days we spend are not made to end
         G               C
We stand forever in their glow


CHORUS 1:
                                G       C      F
So, let me take you down to the dancing floor
                       C
You can walk out on the crowd
       F                             G            C   F
Let us waltz away what's left of the living years
       G              C
In celebration of the loved


CHORUS 2:
                                       G       C      F
It's all glitz and sparkle down on the dancing floor
                      C
We can turn our lives around
     F                             G             C  F
Just leave behind that wretch that you have been
          G               C
With that fool that I'd become

        F         C           G              C         F
Now the hours are few and the days can be so cruel (so cruel)
                           C
Yes, the night are getting long
         F        C         G      C      F
And that joy that you would always bring
      G             C
It'll always keep me strong


CHORUS 1:
                                G       C      F

       G              C
In celebration of the loved


CHORUS 2:
                                          G       C      F
It's all glitz and sparkle tonight on the dancing floor
                      C
We can turn our lives around
     F                             G             C  F
Just leave behind that wretch that you have been
          G               C
