      [Intro]
D A D G D A D    G
Em7  D   A  D   G D

[Verse]
D            A    D   G D   A D
Everyone can hear the music
                              G
You can taste the mood of the wine
        Em7                      D               A         D A
Getting high on the beer and the atmosphere of a good time
D            A    D   G    D   A D
You can hear everyone laughing
                              G
Like they've got something to share
Em7       D                   A           D   G D   Bm
Cigarette smoke and bad jokes hang in the air

[Verse]
                   A
But Ginnie doesn't hear it
  G                   D    Em
I wonder does she realise
              D               G                   A      Bm
She's sitting there with that faraway look in her eyes
                    A
Where she goes, she doesn't say
           G               D
But she'll leave you way behind
      Em       D               G                     A
Going nowhere, soon, she'll be somewhere else in her mind

[Chorus]
           D        G
But if the music is right
        D         G      Em
And the rhythm is light
   G        D         A     D     G D
Ginnie will dance the jig tonight

[Verse]
D          A   D  G   D   A D
Soon we'll all be singing
                         G
The chorus from some old song
Em7               D                   A    D A
Guitars, fiddles, everything playing along
D            A       D   G    D    A D
We'll all be hitting the high note
                         G
When the piano begins to play
          Em7      D                      A  D   G D   Bm
All those songs we hate, but we sing them anyway

[Verse]
                   A
But Ginnie doesn't hear it
          G               D     Em
It's that moment when she goes
     D            G           A      Bm
Some place in her mind nobody knows
                         A
Her laughter's gone, her smile is faded
    G                D
She loses it all and then
     Em           D      G                   A
That something forgotten comes back now and again

[Chorus]
           D        G
But if the music is right
        D         G      Em
And the rhythm is light
   G        D         A     D
Ginnie will dance the jig tonight

[Instrumental]
D A D G D A D    G
Em7  D   A  D   G D
D A D G D A D    G
Em7  D   A  D   G D   Bm

[Verse]
                         A
There are people talking everywhere
    G             D     Em
But Ginnie's all alone
             D          G                   A     Bm
She's locked up in that little world of her own
               A
You can look into her eyes
            G                   D
But there's something you won't see
     Em     D         G            A
A forgotten moment of some old memory

[Chorus]
           D        G
But if the music is right
        D         G      Em
And the rhythm is light
   G        D         A     D       G  Em
Ginnie will dance the jig tonight
   G        D         A     D
Ginnie will dance the jig tonight

[Outro]
D  E  D  E  Gm    D
