She Said She Was A Dancer

Jethro Tull


Tom: F

F                  C       Dm                         A# 
She said she was a dancer. If I believed it, it was my busines 
F                       C               Dm   
She surely knew a thing or two about control. 
F                          C 
Next to the bar we hit the samovar. 
Dm                       A# 
She almost slipped right through my fingers. 
F                 C               Dm 
It was snowing outside and in her soul. 

[Verse 2]
F                    C                 Dm              A# 
Well, maybe you're a dancer, and maybe I'm the King of Old Siam. 
F                    C                    Dm 
I thought it through best to let the illusion roll. 
           F                         C 
I wouldn't say I've never heard that tale before, 
Dm                A# 
my frozen little señorita, 
       F                            C                            Dm 
But if your dream is good,  why not share it when the nights are cold? 

[Chorus]
G                              C                           D 
Hey Moscow, what's your story? Lady, take your time, don't hurry. 
G                      D            C    F    
Maybe a student of the agricultural plan. 
G                                    C                        D 
Hey Moscow, what's your name? If you don't want to say, don't worry. 
G                    D                      C    F
It would probably be hard for me to make it scan. 

[Verse 3]
                             C     
With her phrase book in her silk soft hand 
    Dm                         A#
She spoke in riddles while the vodka listened. 
        F              C                      Dm      
I said, Let me look up love, if I might be so bold
F                            C
She was the nearest thing to Rock and Roll 
Dm               A#
That side of the velvet curtain 
     F                 C                  Dm
That separates eastern steel from western gold

[Chorus]
G                                   C                             D
Hey Miss Moscow, what's your story? You needn't speak aloud, just whisper
G                     D                  C    F 
Am I just the closest thing to an Englishman
G                                    C                    D
You've seen me in your magazines, or maybe on state television
G                            D                     C   F
I'm your Pepsi-Cola, but you won't take me out the can
F                  C                 
She said she was a dancer so she did

[Outro]
F                  C              
She said she was a dancer. 
Dm                       A#   
If I believed it, it was my business
   F                 C                      Dm
It felt like a merry dance that I was being led
     F                      C            
So I stole one kiss. It was a near miss. 
Dm                          A#
She looked at me like I was Jack the Ripper
    F                    C                  Dm        
She leaned in close. Goodnight, was all she said, 
     A#          C   G   
So I took myself off to bed
