Am            F
She dances in the sheets at nights
      C             Em
She dances to his needs
      Am            F
She dances 'til he feels just right
   C               G
Until he falls asleep
      Am            F
She dances at the crack of dawn
      C                Em
and quickly cooks his food
      Am                  F
She can't be late, can't take too long
     C                G
The kids must get to school



[Chorus]
         Am                F
She's a slave to the rhythm
         C                    Em
She's a slave to the rhythm of
         Am 
She's a slave to the rhythm
    F
A slave to the rhythm of
     C                   G
The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love




      Am            F
She dances for the man at work
      C                 Em
Who works her all the time
      Am              F
She can't be rude as she says
         C             G
Sir, "I must be home tonight"
      Am           F
She dances to the kitchen stove
    C                Em      
Dinner is served by nine
    Am                 F
He says his food's an hour late
     C                 G
She must be outta her mind



[Chorus]


     E
She works so hard, just to make her way
      Am                    F
For a man who just don't appreciate
      E
And though he takes her love in vain
          Am                         F
Still she could not stop, couldn't break his chains

      Am                    F
She danced the night that they fell out
     C                    Em
She swore she'd dance no more
     Am                 F
But dance she did, he did not quit
    C               G
as she ran out the door


      Am                         F
She danced through the night in fear of her life
      C                     Em
She danced to a beat of her own
    Am                 F
She let out a cry and swallowed her pride
     C                        G
She knew she was needed back home, home
