 Verse 1:

          B    E6           F#6       E6
         Every day when the day is behind you
                  B            C#            D#          F#
         And the shop and the store put the lock on the door
          B        E6              F#6           E6
         Just get away where your worries won't find you
                 B                  C#   D# G#/D# D#5/7 G#/D# [as per intro]
         If you like then I'll tell you more

          D#          G#/A#       D#maj7    G#/A#
         Don't let the day get the better of you
                   D#     G#/A#           D#maj7  G#/A#
         When the evening comes there's so much to do
                    D#         G#/A#    D#maj7  G#/A#
         You better put on your best and wear a smile
               D#                E  F#
         Just come along with me a while   'cause I tell you

 Chorus:

         B  E       A              F#
         I know a place where the music is
          B             E         A     F#
         Fine and the lights are always low
         B  E       A         F#     B
         I know a place where we can go

 [repeat intro]

 Verse 2:

         At the door there's a man who will greet you
         Then you go downstairs to some tables and chairs
         Soon I'm sure you'll be tapping your feet
         Because the beat is the greatest there

         All around there are girls and boys
         It's a swingin' place, a cellarful of noise
         It's got an atmosphere of its own somehow
         You gotta come along right now   'cause I tell you
