Capo second fret

                |D           |D                     |D
        You can dance every dance with the guy who gives you the eye

                |A              |A
        Let him hold you tight.

                  |A         |A                    |A
        You can smile every smile for the man who held your hand

                   |D                           
        'Neath the pale moonlight.

 


        |D         |G                        |G
        But Don't forget who's taking you home

                                 |D          |D
        And in whose arms you're gonna be.

           |A                 |A7            |D
        So darling, save the last dance for me.

 


              |D           |D                     |D
        Oh I know that the music is fine like sparkling wine

                |A              |A
        Go and have your fun.

                  |A         |A                    |A
        Laugh and sing but while we're apart

                   |D   
        Don't give your heart to anyone.

 




        |D         |G                        |G
        But Don't forget who's taking you home

                                 |D          |D
        And in whose arms you're gonna be.

           |A                 |A7            |D
        So darling, save the last dance for me.

 



        D                     A
        Baby don't you know I love you so

                                  D
        Can't you feel it when we touch.

                           A
        I will never never let you go

                                D
        'Cause I love you oh so much.

 

                 D
        You can dance, go and carry on 

                                        A
        Till the night is gone and it's time to go.

              A
        If he asks if you're all alone can he take you home

                 D             D7
        You must tell him no.

 



        |D         |G                        |G
        But Don't forget who's taking you home

                                 |D          |D
        And in whose arms you're gonna be.

           |A                 |A7            |D
        So darling, save the last dance for me.

                                 |D          |D
        And in whose arms you're gonna be.
