Dancing In The Dark - Ukulele Chords

A song I like playing on the ukulele, albeit not in the rocking style of the original by Bruce Springsteen. Dancing In  The Dark.

I think it suits the ukulele played in a slower swing style, though of course it can be played in any style you like. There is a sound clip at the end of me playing it rather badly to give you an idea! The basic pattern is a shift between G and Em, then into Am to C.



G Em G Em

[G] I get up in the [Em] evening, and I [G] aint got [Em] nothing to [G] say
I come home in the [Em] morning, [G] I go to bed [Em] feeling the same [C] way
I ain't nothing but [Am] tired, [C] Man I'm just [Am] tired and bored with my [G] self
Hey there [Em] baby,  [G] I could [Em] use just a little [D] help

[D] You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a [C] spark
This gun's for [Am] hire, [C] even if we're just [Am] dancing in the [G] dark [Em]

G, Em,

[G] Messages keep getting [Em] clearer, [G] radio's on and I'm [Em] moving around the [G] place
I check my look in the [Em] mirror, [G] wanna change my [Em] clothes my hair my [C] face
Man I ain't getting [Am] nowhere, [C] I'm just [Am] living in a dump like [G] this
There's something happening [Em] somewhere, [G] baby [Em] I just know that there [D] is


[D] You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a [C] spark
This gun's for [Am] hire, [C] even if we're just [Am] dancing in the [G] dark [Em]

G, Em,

[Em] You sit around getting [G] older
[C] There's a joke here [D] somewhere and it's on [Em] me
I'll shake the world off my [G] shoulders
[C] Come on baby the [D] laughs on me

[G]Stay on the streets of [Em] this town, [G] and they'll be [Em] carving you up al [G] right
They say you gotta stay [Em] hungry, [G] Hey baby, I'm [Em] just about starving to [C] night
I'm dying for [Am] action, [C] sick of sitting round [Am] here trying to write this [G] book
I  need a love re [Em]action, [G] Come on [Em] baby give me just one [D] look


[D] You can't start a fire, sitting round crying on a broken [C] heart
This gun's for [Am] hire, [C] even if we're just [Am] dancing in the [G] dark


[D] You can't start a fire, worrying about your little world falling a [C] part
This gun's for [Am] hire, [C] even if we're just [Am] dancing in the [G] dark [Em]

[G] Even if we're just [Em] dancing in the [G] dark [Em]
[G] Even if we're just [Em] dancing in the [G] dark [Em]
[G] Even if we're just [Em] dancing in the [G] dark [Em]
[G] Even if we're just [Em] dancing in the [G] dark [Em]
