Intro
G                     F
Now You are a boy, an orphan boy,
    Eb             Bb
And deep inside of you.
  Cm             Bb
A broken soul, a gaping hole,
    Ab              D 
Has left you feeling blue.
    G                   F
But you’re not like the other boys.
       Eb             Bb
You’ve got that magic flair.
       Gm                Ab
‘Cause when you start to sway, 
        Eb
You get carried away,
    G             D
And no one can compare.


Verse 1
G
I’ve been watching you play, 
          D
I’ve been listening to the things that you say,
         C
And I’ve come to tell you today, 
          G        D 
You’re no ordinary blighter.
G
You’ve got a broken heart,
             D
And you keep reaching inside to tear it apart,
        C
But I’m here to give you a brand new start
       G                D 
And to make your spirits brighter.


Pre-chorus 1
F                       Em
When all the other boys start to laugh and jeer,
Dm                          F              G
I know a secret way you can make them disappear.
C              C#m          G            E 
You’ve got the talent, kid, this is your chance!

Am                        F    
They might not understand, but just stick to the plan,
C                              E
And show them all it’s time to dance.


Chorus
       A             A#m        
Always dance, always dance,
               Bm               E      A
Though they’ll try to stop you, always dance.
          D                   Dm
Shut your mouth and stop your yapping,
          A                 F#
Take your foot and start it tapping!
Bm              E             A                  F#
You were born a magic boy, so leap and twirl and prance!
   Bm     E      A
Oh Tommy, always dance.


Verse 2
A                              E
I’ve been ready to go, for how long I really don’t know,
        D
But one look at you and I know, 
     A               E 
That you would never fool me.
A                            E
I’ve been living a lie, ever since I made my poor mommy die,
          D
I’ve been softly wondering why,
         A             E 
They all choose to ridicule me.

C                              E
And show them all it’s time to dance.

Though they’ll try to stop you, always dance.

Shut your mouth and stop your yapping,
          A                 F#
Take your foot and start it tapping!
Bm              E             A                  F#
I was born a magic boy, I’ll leap and twirl and prance!

Oh Dumby I'll always dance.
