The Dancer


©2005 Garrett Clevenger



Am   E Am My lady approached me and asked me to dance.


Am   F E I could not decline to take this chance.


Am   E F Her dress was red and it fit her right.


E F E Am   I held her and spun her through the night.



Am   E Am   There was a 10 piece band playin' samba in style.


Am   F E         The rhythm was right and the feelin' was wild.


Am   E F        I'd never, ever seen a lady move


E F E Am   like this woman and her groove.



Chorus:


E I'm tellin' you friends, she was a real hot wire.


Am From the first dance I was on fire.


E You should've seen her feedin' the flame
.

Am Then you'd know why I'm not the same.


E                  Tango, flamenco, she knew it all.


F   Dm   C And as for me, it's ok to fall


C     E      Am in love.



Am   E Am      She held my gaze as the band played.


Am   F E          Together we felt the rhythm that made


Am   E F          the whole damn place move to the beat


E F E Am   that vibrated down from all of our feet.



Am   E Am      By the end of the song I was in flames.


Am   F E          My lady collected all my remains.


Am   E F          My wallet and keys she left alone.


E F E Am   All she wanted were my ashes and bones.



{chorus}



{jam through verses}



Am   E Am     Now once in a while when the full moon glows


Am   F E         when the cherry tree blooms when the spring feelin' flows


Am   E F         she takes me out for a night on the town


E F E Am   to reanimate me then make me burn down.



{chorus}
