Never Took Her Dancing

[Intro]

Bb     Dm      C

Bb     Dm     C



[Verse]

     F                       C

He showed up for work

             Dm                       Bb

And he Brought home his pay cheque

      F                       C

He dressed up for church

        Dm                 Bb

And sang rock of ages

    F           C

Built her a house

        Dm                 Bb

And bought her a piano

        C

One summer he took her

        C

Way out to Montana



[Chorus]

                                     Bb             Dm        C

But he never took her dancing

                Bb             Dm        C

No he never took her dancing



[Verse]

     F                       C

He kept the cars running

             Dm                       Bb

And the lawn mower mowing

     F                       C

The bread on the table

            Dm                       Bb

While the children were growing

     F                       C

and planted her roses

            Dm                       Bb

and mended the fences

       C

went back to her family

       C

reunions in Texas



[Chorus]

                                     Bb             Dm        C

But he never took her dancing

                Bb             Dm        C

No he never took her dancing



[Bridge]

          Bb

Oh he worked and he worried

     C

He hustled and hurried

         Bb                                C

But he never saw time a’ running out

           Bb

Those years they kept passing

     C

One day she quit asking

      Dm     C                 Bb               C

The only regret he has now



[Chorus]

                     Bb             Dm        C

Is he never took her dancing

                     Bb             Dm        C

No he never took her dancing



[Instrumental Break]

Bb             Dm        C

Bb             Dm        C



[Verse]

     F                       C

He drove her to town

            Dm                       Bb

While her hair was fraying

     F                       C

when the lord came to take her

            Dm                       Bb

he was by her side praying

     F                       C

later that winter

            Dm                       Bb

he went looking for some pictures

       C

found an old box

       C

of new ballroom slippers



[Interlude]

                Bb             Dm        C

(Instrumental Bar)

                Bb             Dm        C

No he never took her dancing

                Bb             Dm        C

(Instrumental Bar)



[Bridge]

          Bb

Oh he worked and he worried

     C

He hustled and hurried

         Bb                                C

But he never saw time a’ running out

           Bb

Those years they kept passing

     C

One day she quit asking

      Dm     C                 Bb               C

The only regret he has now



[Chorus]

                     Bb             Dm        C

Is he never took her dancing

                     Bb             Dm        C

No he never took her dancing
