Tom: Am
Am F
She dances in the sheets at nights
C Em
She dances to his needs
Am F
She dances 'til he feels just right
C G
Until he falls asleep
Am F
She dances at the crack of dawn
C Em
and quickly cooks his food
Am F
She can't be late, can't take too long
C G
The kids must get to school
[Chorus]
Am F
She's a slave to the rhythm
C Em
She's a slave to the rhythm of
Am
She's a slave to the rhythm
F
A slave to the rhythm of
C G
The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love
Am F
She dances for the man at work
C Em
Who works her all the time
Am F
She can't be rude as she says
C G
Sir, "I must be home tonight"
Am F
She dances to the kitchen stove
C Em
Dinner is served by nine
Am F
He says his food's an hour late
C G
She must be outta her mind
[Chorus]
E
She works so hard, just to make her way
Am F
For a man who just don't appreciate
E
And though he takes her love in vain
Am F
Still she could not stop, couldn't break his chains
Am F
She danced the night that they fell out
C Em
She swore she'd dance no more
Am F
But dance she did, he did not quit
C G
as she ran out the door
Am F
She danced through the night in fear of her life
C Em
She danced to a beat of her own
Am F
She let out a cry and swallowed her pride
C G
She knew she was needed back home, home
