C

[Verse 1]
C            G       Am         F
Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by
     C                     G                   G/A
it's so hard to make every note bind just right
G/B C            G         Am            F
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace
      C                       G     G/A G/B C
But a tune for the dancing is there in it's place

[Verse 2]
G G/A G/B      C                G            Am           F
      Well the dance floors for gliding, not jumping over ponies
      C                                 G            G7
Where boots and gold bracelets come and meet as they should
     C       G          Am           F
It's for celebrating a  Friday night romance
   C                         G    G/A G/B C
Forgetting the bad stuff and just feeling good

[Verse 3]
G G/A G/B C            G       Am         F
  Oh -oh  Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by
     C                     G              G7
it's so hard to make every note bind just right
    C            G         Am            F
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace
      C                       G     G/A G/B  C
But a tune for the dancing is there in  it's place

[Verse 4]
D  A  A/B A/C# D            A              Bm              G
          An   arms just an arm, till it's wrapped round a shoulder
D                           A               A7
Looped side by side they go stepping out together
  D             A             Bm             G
A note's just a note till you wake from your slumber
    D                    A       D
And dare to discover the new melody

[Verse 5]
A A/B A/C# D            A       Bm         G
  Oh -oh   Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by
     D                     A          
it's so hard to make every note bind just right
    D            A         Bm            G
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace
      D                       A             D
But a tune for the dancing is there in it's place

it's so hard to make every note bind just right
    D            A         Bm            G
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace

But a tune for the dancing is there in it's place
