Dancing in the Dark - Amy MacDonald live acoustic version. Tabbed by Gramanski. (gramanski@live.co.uk) My little sister asked me to work this out for her, so I thought I'd post it up here as well. This is played a little bit slower than the Springsteen original I'm sure this is pretty accurate because I watched the video on youtube about 50 times I was working it out. (Amy MacDonald "Dancing in the Dark" @ Manchester Academy) I know there are some deviations in the lyrics with the original, but this is how Amy it. Amy uses some fingerpickin pattern that was too complicated for me to work out, if else can, please post it. I just pluck the base note and strum. Capo on the 3rd Fret All chords and tabs are relative to the capo (Actually in Bb same as the Springsteen (I think)) EEm Intro: G Em G Em G I get up in the evening, And I aint got nothing to say Em G Em C I come home in the morning, I go to bed feeling the same way Am C Am G I ain't nothing but tired, Man I'm just tired and bored with myself Em G Em D Hey there baby, I could use just a little help D C You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark Am C Am G Em This gun's for hire, even if we're just dancing in the dark G Em G Em G Messages keep getting clearer, Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place Em G Em C I check my look in the mirror, wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face Am C Am G Man I ain't getting nowhere, Well I'm Just living in a dump like this Em G Em D There's something happening somewhere, Hey Baby I just know that there is D C You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark Am C Am G Em This gun's for hire, even if we're just dancing in the dark Em G You sit around getting older C D Em There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me G I'll shake this world off my shoulders C D Come on baby the laugh's on me G Em G Em G Stay on the streets of this town, And they'll be carving you up all right Em G Em C They say you gotta stay hungry, Hey baby, I'm just about starving tonight Am C Am I'm dying for some action, I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write G book Em G Em D I need a love reaction,Hey baby gimme just one look D C You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark Am C Am G Em This gun's for hire, even if we're just dancing in the dark G Em G Em even if we're just dancing in the dark G Em G even if we're just dancing in the dark
