Title: Wake up Dancin' 
Author: Gordon Mote

Intro: D, Bm, G, Asus4, A

VERSE 1
               D
He pulled that straight-back wicker chair
    Bm                    G
Up next to grandpa's bed

And with a voice left weak by pain
  Asus4            A
His grandpa softly said 


          D
Could you get my cowboy boots
               Bm
And that gold pocket watch of mine
    G
And bring me my Sunday suit
         Asus4              A
With the vest that's satin-lined 
        Em              A                 D
When he saw the sadness in his grandson's eyes
              Bm    
He said I've got to be prepared
             Em          A
Because I'm going home tonight 


CHORUS:
          D
I'm gonna waltz across the Heavens
         Bm
While a band of angels play
           G
I'm gonna two-step on some stardust
  A
A million miles away 
     
     
              D
You'll never have a new beginning
    Bm
Until you reach the end
          G                               A
And these old legs are gonna come to life again
                D             Bm
Gonna wake up dancin' 



VERSE 2
           D
He said if it's not too much trouble
           Bm
There's one thing left to do
          G
Since I'm going to see your grandma
          Asus4            A
Could you get her favorite shoes 


    D
The ones with those ribbons
 Bm
Red and trimmed in white

The last time she had them on
   Asus4                A
I believe we danced all night 

     Em               A                  D
And why she left them here it's plain to see
             Bm               Em         Asus4   A
Your grandma never danced with anyone but me 



CHORUS 2
          D
And we're gonna waltz across the Heavens
         Bm
While a band of angels play
           G
We're gonna two-step on some stardust
  A
A million miles away 
              D
You'll never have a new beginning
    Bm
Until you reach the end
          G                               A
And these old legs are gonna come to life again 



CHORUS 3
             E
We're gonna waltz across the Heavens
        C#m
While a band of angels play
            A
We're gonna two-step on some stardust
  B
A million miles away 


           E
I'll never have a new beginning
    C#m
Until I reach the end
     A                                    B
And these old legs are gonna come to life again 
               E        Esus4
Gonna wake up dancin'
               E        Esus4
Gonna wake up dancin'
         E    
Wake up dancin'
