G                            Cadd9
When the dancers took to the promenade
G                            Cadd9
My heart lept high and I was unafraid
Em                            C       G
Of the feelings I stifled for so many years
C               D               G
Singing tell me now, How do you feel?

[Verse]
G
Well the band took their places
Cadd9
And they got all in tune
G
Then the caller's voice
Cadd9
It rang out beneath the moon
Em                                         C          G
Then the boys grabbed their girls and they started to reel
C               D               G
Singing tell me now, How do you feel?

[Chorus]
D                                Cadd9    G
The townspeople said that they'd call the police
D                                  Cadd9            G
If we didn't keep it down all this disturbing their peace
Cadd9       G              Cadd9          G
And officer Black, well he answered their pleas
Em                    D            G
And he went up on the hill just to see

[Verse]
G
Well he hid in the bushes
Cadd9
Just a stone's throw away
G
And we all saw this change coming
Cadd9
Over his face
Em                                     C          G
Then he jumped to his feet and started dancing on his heels
C               D               G
Singing tell me now, How do you feel?

[Chorus]
D
And the townspeople asked
        Cadd9     G
If he'd made some arrests
D
Did he give them peace and quiet
              Cadd9      G
So they could go back to bed?
                Cadd9          G
He said If it's peace that you want
            Cadd9      G
You'll find it on that hill,
Em                  D
But the silence you keep
       C            G
Is the silence that kills

[Verse]
G                           Cadd9
Then the townspeople got so uptight and mad
           G
Well, they fired him on the spot
         Cadd9
And they threw away his badge
Em
When they asked him to leave
        Cadd9    G
He said Surely I will
              Cadd9   D               G
And they said tell us now, How do you feel?

[Chorus]
G                            Cadd9
When the dancers took to the promenade
G                            Cadd9
My heart lept high and I was unafraid
Em                            C       G
Of the feelings I stifled for so many years
C               D               G
Singing tell me now, How do you feel?
