Verse 1
(G major) When the dancers took to
the promenade (C major)
Well my (G major) heart leapt high
And I was (C major) unafraid
Of the feeling (B minor) I'd stifled for
(E minor) so many years
Tell me (C major) how do you
(D major) How do you (G major) feel (D major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
Well the band (G major) took their places
and (C major) got all in tune
And then the (G major) caller's voice
Well it rang (C major) out beneath the moon
And then the (B minor) boys took their girls
and they star (E minor) ted to reel
And they were singin' (C major) how do you,
(D major) how do you (G major) feel
And then the (D major) people in the town
said that they'd (C major) call the police (G major)
If we (D major) didn't keep down all this
dis (C major) turbin' their (G major) peace
And (C major) Officer Black (G major) ,
you know (C major) he answered their pleas (G major)
And he (E minor) ran up on the hill (D major) just to see (C major)
Well he (G major) hid in the bushes just
a (C major) stone's throw away
And then we (G major) all saw this change
comin' (C major) over his face
But he was (B minor) bouncin' to the beat and
started (E minor) hoppin' on his heels
Singin', (C major) how do you do, (D major)
how do you (G major) feel
And then the (D major) townspeople asked him
if he'd (C major) make some arrests (G major)
Could they (D major) find peace and quiet
so they could go (C major) back to bed
(G major) He said if it's (C major) peace that you (G major) want,
you're gonna (C major) find it on the hill (G major)
But the (E minor) si lence that you keep (D major)
is the si (C major) lence that kills
So the (G major) townspeople all got
so (C major) uptight and mad
You know they (G major) fired him on
the spot
And then they (C major) threw away
his badge
Then they (B minor) asked him to leave and
he said (E minor) gladly I will
They said (C major) tell us now (D major) how do you (G major) feel
He said, when the dancers took
to the promenade (C major)
Well my (G major) heart leapt high and I was (C major) unafraid
Of the feeling (B minor) I'd stifled
(E minor) for so many years
Tell me (C major) how do you,
(D major) how do you (G major) feel
(C major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
