(Intro)

Em7                  F#m7                Em7        F#m7
   Window frames a picture of winter time within my room
Em7                      F#m7               Em7        F#m7
   Sometimes then I laugh at the funny times we had in school
        Em7            F#m7
Blowing leaves, broken dreams
     Em7           F#m7 Em9       F#m7 Em9
Seventeen, dancing queen, dancing queen

Bm7
I am asleep on a rainbow
Em7
Hiding from the wake of the tide
Bm7
I am asleep on a rainbow
Em7
Hoping for the rest of the ride

Em7                  F#m7               Em7              F#m7
   Can you feel it moving inside of you?  Can you let it go?
Em7                      Em7                 Em7                 F#m7
   The purple ghost of England in winter time, and who I used to know
        Em7            F#m7
Blowing leaves, broken dreams
     Em7           F#m7 Em9       F#m7 Em9
Seventeen, dancing queen, dancing queen

Bm7
I am asleep on a rainbow
Em7
Hiding from the wake of the tide

I am a sleep on a rainbow

Hoping for the rest of the ride

     Em7           F#m7 Em9       F#m7 Em9
Seventeen, dancing queen, dancing queen
