This sounds pretty close to me, but feel free to send any suggestions.


                                Promenade
                                   by
                               Rich Mullins
                     from the Album "Brother's Keeper"


G                            Cadd9
When the dancers took to the promenade
G                            Cadd9
My heart lept high and I was unafraid
Em                            C       G
Of the feelings I stifled for so many years
C               D               G
Singing tell me now, How do you feel?


G
Well the band took their places
Cadd9
And they got all in tune
G
Then the caller's voice
Cadd9
It rang out beneath the moon
Em                                         C          G
Then the boys grabbed their girls and they started to ????
C               D               G
Singing tell me now, How do you feel?


D                                Cadd9    G
The townspeople said that they'd call the police
D                                  Cadd9            G
If we didn't keep it down all this disturbing their peace
Cadd9       G              Cadd9          G
And officer Black, well he answered their pleas
Em                    D            G
And he went up on the hill just to see


G
Well he hid in the bushes
Cadd9
Just a stone's throw away
G
And we all saw this change coming
Cadd9
Over his face
Em                                     C          G
Then he jumped to his feet and started dancing on his heels
C               D               G
Singing tell me now, How do you feel?

D
And the townspeople asked
        Cadd9     G
If he'd made some arrests
D
Did he give them peace and quiet
              Cadd9      G
So they could go back to bed?
                Cadd9          G
He said If it's peace that you want
            Cadd9      G
You'll find it on that hill,
Em                  D
But the silence you keep
       C            G
Is the silence that kills

G                           Cadd9
Then the townspeople got so uptight and mad
           G
Well, they fired him on the spot
         Cadd9
And they threw away his badge
Em
When they asked him to leave
        Cadd9    G
He said Surely I will
              Cadd9   D               G
And they said tell us now, How do you feel?

G                            Cadd9
When the dancers took to the promenade
G                            Cadd9
My heart lept high and I was unafraid
Em                            C       G
Of the feelings I stifled for so many years
C               D               G
Singing tell me now, How do you feel?

When the dancers took to the promenade
Well my heart leapt high
And I was unafraid
Of the feeling I'd stifled for so many years
Tell me how do you
How do you feel
Well the band took their places and got all in tune
And then the caller's voice
Well it ran out beneath the moon
And then the boys took their girls and they started to reel
And they were singin' how do you, how  do you feel
And then the people in the town said that they'd call the police
If we didn't keep down all this disturbin' their peace
And officer Black, you know he answered their pleas
And he ran up on the hill just to see
Well he hid in the bushes just a stone's throw away
And then we all saw this change comin' over his face
But he was bouncin' to the beat and started hoppin' on his heels
Singin', how do you do, how do you feel
And then the towns people asked him if he'd make some arrests
Could they find peace and quiet so they could go back to bed
He said if its peace that you want you're gonna find it on that hill
But the silence that you keep its the silence that kills
So the towns people all got so uptight and mad
You know they fired him on the spot and then they
Threw away his badge
Then they asked him to leave and he said gladly I will
They said tell us now how do you feel
He said, when the dancers took to the promenade
Well my heart leapt high and I was unafraid
of the feeling I'd stifled for so many years
Tell me how do you, how do you feel
