Dancing Barefoot

Patti Smith & Ivan Kral

 

INTRO:  Em   D   Em   A   Em   D   Em   A

 

Em D   Em    A      Em D     Em        A

She is benediction, she is addicted to he.

Em D       Em       A        Em D       Em          A

She is the root connection & she is connecting with me

 

PRE-CHORUS 1:

Em        D        Em           A Em D       Em       A  Em

   Here I go and I don't know why--- I spin so ceaselessly.

         D       Em     A    Em D Em A

Could it be he's taking over me?

 

CHORUS:

G             A         C            D

  I'm dancing barefoot, headed for a spin.

Em                 A

Some strange music drags me in.

C                D             Em  D Em A Em D Em A

Makes me come up like some heroin.

 

She is sublimation, she is the essence of thee.

She is concentrating on he who is chosen by she.

 

PRE-CHORUS 1 & CHORUS:

 

She is recreation, she intoxicated by thee.

She has the slow sensation that he is levitating with she.

 

PRE-CHORUS 2:

Here I go when I don't know why, I spin so ceaselessly.

'Til I lose my sense of gravity.

 

CHORUS:

 

INSTRUMENTAL OVER INTRO CHORDS:

 

OUTRO:

Em    D      Em        A  Em

   O, God, I feel for you.   [4x - last time end on A]
