[Verse 1]
          G                   Cadd9
When the dancers took to the promenade

          G
Well, my heart leapt high

          Cadd9
And I was unafraid

        Bm                     Em
Of the feeling I'd stifled for so many years

        C          D
Tell me how do you

           G   Cadd9   G   Cadd9
How do you feel?
[Verse 2]
           G                         Cadd9
Well, the band took their places and got all in tune

             G
And then the caller's voice

              Cadd9
Well, it rang out beneath the moon

             Bm                             Em
And then the boys took their girls and they started to reel

                      C          D
And they were singin' how do you

           G
How do you feel?
[Verse 3]
             D                                   Cadd9      G
And then the people in the town said that they'd call the police

      D                            Cadd9         G
If we didn't keep down all this disturbin' their peace

    Cadd9    G
And Officer Black

            Cadd9          G
You know he answered their pleas

       Em             D           Cadd9
And he ran up on the hill just to see
[Verse 4]
         G                         Cadd9
Well, he hid in the bushes, just a stone's throw away

            G
And then we all saw this change

       Cadd9
Comin' over his face

             Bm                               Em
Well, he was bouncin' to the beat, he started hoppin' on his heels

        C          D
Singin' how do you

           G
How do you feel?
[Verse 5]
             D                             Cadd9        G
And then the townspeople asked him if he'd made some arrests

           D                                  Cadd9       G
Could they find peace and quiet so they could go back to bed

                Cadd9          G
He said if it's peace that you want

             Cadd9           G
You're gonna find it on the hill

        Em                D           Cadd9
But the silence that you keep is the silence that kills
[Verse 6]
       G                      Cadd9
So the townspeople all got so uptight and mad

              G
You know they fired him on the spot

              Cadd9
And then they threw away his badge

              Bm                            Em
And then they asked him to leave and he said gladly I will

          C           D
They said tell us now

           G
How do you feel?
[Verse 7]
                 G                    Cadd9
He said when the dancers took to the promenade

          G
Well, my heart leapt high

          Cadd9
And I was unafraid

        Bm                     Em
Of the feeling I'd stifled for so many years

        C          D
Tell me how do you

           G   Cadd9   G  Cadd9  D  G
How do you feel?
