When I Dance by Jonathan Richman


       When I Dance


Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
 
[Verse]
Cm
Things were slow, a little slow
Cm
And I was at the kind of party
Cm
Where I said I wouldn't go
            Fm
But in the mood, I stay
            Cm
And then I didn't blush at all
Cm
At the scene I made
 
[Chorus]
               Gm        Fm
Well, they're all in my trance
        Cm
When I dance
Cm
The way I move myself around
             Gm        Fm
And they're all in my trance
        Cm
When I dance
 
[Verse]
          Cm
I'm not a pro, I'm not a pro
          Cm
In fact I barely move at all
          Cm
Compared to certain guys you know
            Fm
But if you look and see
                 Cm
You'll see they won't watch them
             Cm
The same way they watch me
 
[Chorus]
            Gm        Fm
And they're all in my  trance
        Cm
When I dance
         Cm
The way I move myself around
             Gm       Fm
And they're all in my trance
       Cm
When I dance
 
[Bridge]
      Fm
Well, when I dance that's passion
    Fm
And when I dance that's love
     Gm
And there's times I cause that attraction
        Gm
Well then I don't try to start
        Gm
I just don't try to stop
       Gm
And I don't blush cause I like it like that
 
[Verse]
            Cm
Things were slow, a little slow
            Cm
And when they put on a record I didn't want to know
            Fm
But soon I stood against my will
           Cm
I heard an old time song and I could not sit still
 
[Chorus]
            Gm         Fm
And they're all in my trance
       Cm
When I dance
          Cm
The way I move myself around
            Gm        Fm
And they're all in my trance
        Cm
When I dance
 
[Bridge]
      Fm
Well, when I dance that's passion
    Fm
And when I dance that's love
     Fm
And there's times I cause that attraction
 N.C.             Gm
Well then I don't try to start
        Gm
I just don't try to stop
       Gm
And I don't blush because I like ya, I like ya
 
[Verse]
          Cm
I'm not a pro, I'm not a pro
          Cm
In fact I barely even move
         Cm
Compared to a lot of guys you know
           Fm
And if the music isn't right that day
           Fm
Well now my little body hardly has anything to say
            Gm         Fm
But they're all in my trance
        Cm
When I dance
        Cm
Yeah the way I move myself around
                    Gm        Fm
I'm saying they're all in my trance, yeah
           Cm
The way I dance
 
[Verse]
             Cm
Things were slow, a little slow
             Cm
In fact when they put on the record I didn't want to know
         Fm
But in a minute and a half you see
             Cm
They wern't watching each other they were watchin me
        Gm         Fm
They're all in my trance
        Cm
When I dance, yeah
         Cm
The way I move myself around
              Gm        Fm
Well they're all in my trance
          Cm
The way I dance
