(Chorus)
[C7]You got to dan[F]ce with who brung you, sw[D7]ing with who swung you,
[G]Don't be a fickle fool,You c[C7]ame here with a gal, who's [F]always been your
[D7]pal, don't le[G7]ave her for the first unattached gi[C7]rl, it just ain't cool
You got to da[F]nce with who brung you, s[D7]wing with who swung you,
L[Gm]ife ain't no fort[D7]y-yard d[Gm]ash, be [Bb]in it for the lo[F dim]ng run,
'cause in the lo[F]ng run you'll have m[D7]ore fun, if you d[G7]ance with who b[C7]rung
you to the ba[F]sh [F] [Em] [Dm] [C]
(Verse 1)
[C]I had a friend from Texas, he r[F]eally had some sty[F]le, he[Em] sang t[Dm]hat g[C]ood
old Western Swing and drove 'em w[F]ild
[Dm]Then a talent scout from Vegas said "[Gm]Boy, play and sing this way"
And in on[G7]e [stop]short year he was broke and in [C7]L.A.
(Chorus)
Instrumental Break (same as the Intro and Chorus) then [F] [Em] [Dm] [C]
verse 2
[C]You gotta be real careful what you w[F]ish for, 'c[Em]ause y[Dm]ou ju[C]st might get
the whole darn t[F]hing, Be s[Dm]ure what you want is so[Gm]mething you can use-
G7(stop) C7
Or you mi[G7]ght[stop] wind up half dead, just singing the B[C7]lues
Chorus (and end with)
[G7]If you dance with who br[C7]ung you to the ba[F]sh--- [D7]
[G7]Dance with who br[C7]ung you to the ba[F]sh
