So fine and pretty. Fooled me with her style and ease.

Yes, it's love in the third degree.

Ooh, baby, baby.

Ooh, baby, baby.

Come on, take a chance.

You're old enough to dance the night away.

Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away.

A live wire.

Barely a beginner, but just watch that lady go.

She's on fire, 'cause dancing gets her higher than

anything else she knows.

Ooh, baby, baby.

Won'tcha turn your head my way?

Ooh, baby, baby.

Well, don't skip romance, 'cause you're old enough to dance

the night away.

Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away.

Dance the night away.

Dance, dance, dance the night away.

[SOLO]

The entire solo (or almost) is played in artificial harmonics, so, if are not getting

a good sound from your guittar, you can try my second version of this solo, that sound

almost like the original, but without artificial harmonics.

(These Harmonics are not

exactly on the 19th fret. ___________________________________

Tap diagonally with the |

right index finger between |

the 19th and the 20th.Same |

thing to the other harmonics |

indicated with "X/Y" ) |

  [SOLO]
     The entire solo (or almost) is played in artificial harmonics, so, if are not getting
a good sound from your guittar, you can try my second version of this solo, that sound
almost like the original, but without artificial harmonics.
                 (These Harmonics are not
               exactly on the 19th fret. ___________________________________
