Alt-j Dancing in the moonlight
just chords, not sure how accurate but sounds good to me. I think its played, plucking the bass note 
followed by an upward strum on each chord.
[Verse 1]
Well I pBmassed you in the Adoorway 
And you Gtook me with a glDance 
BmShould have been on that Alast bus home 
But I asGked you for a dancDe 
BmNow we go steady to the Apictures 
I aGlways get chocolate stains Don my pants 
BmAnd my father's going cArazy 
Say's I'm Gliving in a trancDe 
[Chorus]
But I'm dancing in the mBmoonlight 
AIt's caught me in the spoGtlight  
It's aDlright 
Dancing in the mBmoonlight 
AOn this long hot summer Gnight D  
[Verse 2]
Well it's Bmthree o'clock in the mAorning 
And I'm oGn the streets agDain 
BmDisobeyed another Awarning 
GI should have been home by Dten  
BmWon't get out until ASunday
I'll Ghave to say I stayed with Dfriends
BmBut it's a habit worth Aforming
GIf the means justify the Dends
[Chorus]
But I'm dancing in the mBmoonlight 
AIt's caught me in the spoGtlight  
It's aDlright 
Dancing in the mBmoonlight 
AOn this long hot summer Gnight D
