Lyrics

Missed the Sat ur day dance.

Heard they crowd ed the floor.

Could n’t bear it with (D7)out you.

Don’t get a round much an y (C)more.

Thought I’d vis it the club.

Got as far as the door.

They’d have ask’d me a (D7)bout you,

don’t get a round much an y (C)more.

(F6)Dar

ling, I (Bb9)guess

my (C)mind’s

more at ease,

but (F6)nev

er the (F#dim)less,

why stir up (Ebdim)mem o (G7)ries?

Been in vit ed on (C)dates.

Might have gone but what for?

Aw f’lly dif f’rent with (D7)out you,

don’t get a round much an y (C)more.

Missed the Sat ur day dance.

Heard they crowd ed the floor.

Could n’t bear it with (D7)out you.

Don’t get a round much an y (C)more.

Thought I’d vis it the club.

Got as far as the door.

They’d have ask’d me a (D7)bout you,

don’t get a round much an y (C)more.
