Sweet Dancer Chords & Lyrics - The Waterboys

[VERSE 1]

The [E]girl goes dancing there
On the [A]leaf-sown, new-mown, [B]smooth grass
Of the [C#m]garden
Escaped from her bitter [F#m]youth
Escaped out of her [Bsus4]crowd
Or out of her [B]black cloud

[CHORUS]

[E]Ah, dancer, [A]ah, sweet [B]dancer
[E]Ah, dancer, [A]ah, sweet [B]dancer

[VERSE 2]

If strange [E]men come from the house
To [A]lead her away, please, [B]do not say
She's [C#m]crazy
Lead them gently [F#m]astray
Let her finish her [Bsus4]dance
Finish her [B]dance

[CHORUS]

[E]Ah, dancer, [A]ah, sweet [B]dancer
[E]Ah, dancer, [A]ah, sweet [B]dancer

[BRIDGE]

She [C#m]sings as the moon sings
I am [B]I, I am I
The [A]greater grows my light
The [E]further shall I fly [E] [B]
I [C#m]hear the wind a-blow
I [B]hear the grass a-grow
And [A]all that I know
I [B]know, I know

[VERSE 3]

The [E]girl goes dancing there
On the [A]leaf-sown, new-mown, [B]smooth grass
Of the [C#m]garden
Let her finish the [F#m]dance
Let her finish the [Bsus4]dance
Finish the [B]dance

[CHORUS]

[E]Ah, dancer, [A]ah, sweet [B]dancer
[E]Ah, dancer, [A]ah, sweet [B]dancer
[E]Ah, dancer, [A]ah, sweet [B]dancer
[E]Ah, dancer, [A]ah, sweet [B]dancer
