AmEveryone’s dressed
FAll in their sunday best
AmThe shadows bathed in pink and black
FMoonlight sets in, the conductor takes centerstage
AmAnd the people start to sway
FAnd the band plays on
CHORUS
AmWe’re gonna Cdance thDme sun awayF  
AmTonight, weC’re gonna Dmdance the sun awayF  
AmThey’re spiCnning aroDmund and around againF  
AmThey turn aCnd hold hands
DmWith their hands they seFnd
DO VERSE
The music plays, the ghosts fly over the stage
And they awake and dance with everyone
A masquerade in full swing, into
The right they all sing
Save us
And Amnow the light is goneF  
So close our eyes
AmAnd let’s begin
AmThey’ll all Cdance Dmin this holidFay
In Ca moonlight ballroom
FLet the symphony fly
An invitation to sing one more time

Am F

INTRO- 4X

Everyone’s dressed

All in their sunday best

The shadows bathed in pink and black

Moonlight sets in, the conductor takes centerstage

And the people start to sway

And the band plays on

CHORUS

Am C Dm F

We’re gonna dance the sun away

Am C Dm F

Tonight, we’re gonna dance the sun away

Am C Dm F

They’re spinning around and around again

Am C

They turn and hold hands

Dm F

With their hands they send

DO VERSE

The music plays, the ghosts fly over the stage

And they awake and dance with everyone

A masquerade in full swing, into

The right they all sing

Save us

Am F

And now the light is gone

So close our eyes

And let’s begin

Am C Dm F

They’ll all dance in this holiday

In a moonlight ballroom

Let the symphony fly

An invitation to sing one more time
