Mama! I don't have time for dancing!


[Verse 1]

Adim7             G7sus          C (I usually play a D# - E to fill in)
That's just gonna have to wait a while
C         Cdim     C
Ain't got time for messing around
D7               G7
And it's not my style
D9         G7#5   C7sus    C7
This old town can slow you down
       F          C/E   D7
People taking the ea-sy way
    C/G       G#dim Am
But I know ex-actly where I'm going
       D7   C/E      Fm  F#dim  G7 F/A Gm7b5/Bb (1 beat each)
Getting   closer and clo-ser    ev-ery day

Trials and tribula-tions, I’ve had my share
C/G          E7/G#         Am7                   D7 G7sus  C ||

Gm7b5/Bb |   G7/B  C         G7#5          C9    C9/G Gb7
          So I     work real hard each and every day
    F          C/E        D7
Now things for sure are going my way
C/G     E7/G#  Am7
    Just doing what I do

  You know I've had my share
[a tempo]
         C/G           E7/G#       Am7  (add an Eb somewhere)
But I've climbed a moun-tain, I've crossed the river
