[Verse]
Em D
When I passed you in the doorway
C G
Well, you took me with a glance
Em D
I should have took that last bus home
C G
But I asked you for a dance
Em D
Now we go steady to the pictures
C G
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
Em D
And my father he's going crazy
C G
He says I'm living in a trance
[Chorus]
D Em
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
D C
It's caught me in its spotlight
G
It's alright, alright
Em
Dancing in the moonlight
D C G N.C.
On this long hot summer night
[Verse]
Em D
It's three o'clock in the morning
C G
And I'm on the streets again
Em D
I disobeyed another warning
C G
I should have been in by ten
Em D
Now I won't get out until Sunday
C G
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
Em D
Oh, but it's a habit worth forming
C G
If it means to justify the end
[Chorus]
D Em
Dancing in the moonlight
D C
It's caught me in its spotlight
G
It's alright, alright
Em
Dancing in the moonlight
D C G N.C.
On this long hot summer night
[Intro Riff]
Em D C G
Em D C G
And I'm walking home
Em D C G
The last bus has long gone
Em D C G N.C.
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
[Lead Break]
| Em | D | C | G | x4
[Chorus]
D Em
Dancing in the moonlight
D C
It's caught me in its spotlight
G
It's alright, alright
Em
Dancing in the moonlight
D C G
On this long hot summer night
[Chorus/Outro]
Em
Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing in the moonlight)
D C G
It's caught me in its spotlight (It's caught me in its spotlight)
Em
Dancing in the moonlight (Dancing in the moonlight)
D C G
On this long hot summer night (It's got me hot)
Em
Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing in the moonlight)
D C G
It's caught me in its spotlight (It's caught me alright, alright, alright, alright, alright)
Em
Dancing in the moonlight
D C G
On this long hot summer night (It's so goddamn hot)
(fade out)
