They put a parking lot on a piece of land

When the supermarket used to stand

Before that they put up a bowling alley

On the site that used to be the local palais

That's where the big bands

used to come and play

My sister went there on a Saturday
Chorus 1

Come dancing

All her boyfriends used to come and call

Verse 2
E

Another Saturday, another date
B

She would be ready
E

but she'd always make them wait

In the hallway, in anticipation
B

He didn't know
E

the night would end up in frustration
A

He'd end up blowing
E

all his wages for the week
B

All for a cuddle
E

and a peck on the cheek
Chorus 2
A

Come dancing
E

That's how they did it when I was just a kid
B

And when they said come dancing
A

My sister always did

Verse 3
E

Now I'm grown up and playing in a band
B

And there's a car park
E

where the palais used to stand

My sister's married and she lives on an estate

Her daughters go out,
E

now it's her turn to wait

She knows they get away

with things she never could
B

But if I asked her I wonder if she would

Come on sister, have yourself a ball

It's only natural

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
