Thin Lizzy, Dancing In The Moonlight (1977)
^{Key: :[Am] (w: Philip Parris Lynott)}
INTRO: [*BASS]

VERSE 1:
When I [Am7] passed you in the [G] doorway
Well you [F] took me with a [C] glance
[Am7] I should have took that [G] last bus home
But I [F] asked you for a [C] dance

VERSE 2:
Now we go [Am7] steady to the [G] pictures
I always get [F] chocolate stains on my [C] pants
And my [Am7] father he's going [G] crazy
He say's [F] I'm living in a [C] trance

CHORUS:
But I'm [E5] dancing [G5] in the [Am7] moonlight
[G] It's caught me in its [F] spotlight
[C] It's alright [E5] dancing [G5] in the [Am7] moonlight
[G] On the long hot [F] summer [C] night

VERSE 3:
It's [Am7] three o'clock in the [G] morning
And I'm [F] on the streets [C] again
I [Am7] disobeyed another [G] warning
I [F] should have been in by [C] ten

VERSE 4:
Now I [Am7] won't get out until [G] Sunday
I'll have to [F] say I stayed with [C] friends
Oh [Am7] but it's a habit worth [G] forming
If it [F] means to justify the [C] end

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE: [over *BASS]
And I'm walking home
The last bus is long gone
But I'm dancing in the moonlight

INSTRUMENTAL:
