Night moves    (video)    (intro)    (midi)

 

    G     - F - C     - F - G    - F - C

 

    F - G

1.           I was a little too tall could've used a few pounds,

F - C

          tight pants points hardly renown,

F - G

          she was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes,

F - C                                                                        

         and points all her own sitting way up high.

 

     F - G - F - C                        

2.                       Way up firm and high,

F - G              

          out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy,

F - C                    

         out in the backseat of my '60 Chevy,

F - G                                                                    - F - C

         workin’ on mysteries without any clues.

 

                        Em                - D - C     

Workin on our night moves,

  D                            Em              D         C

tryin’ to make some front page drive-in news.

                            Em                 - D - C    - G   

Workin on our night moves,                        in the summertime,

F - C          - F - G                                              - F - C

         mm,              in the sweet summertime.

 

    F - G

3.            We weren't in love, oh no, far from it,

F - C

          we weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit.

F - G

          we were just young and restless and bored,

F - C

          livin' by the sword.

F - G

         And we'd steal away every chance we could

F - C                     

         to the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

F - G      

         I used her, she used me, but neither one cared,

F - C

         we were getting our share.

 

                        Em                - D - C     

Workin on our night moves,

  D                       Em           D            C

trying to lose the awkward teenage blues.

                        Em               - D - C         - G   

Workin on our night moves,             uh,         and it was summertime,

F - C          - F - G                                  F                - C

         mm,             sweet summertime, summertime.      +  Em - G - G7

 

     C            G        - C             

    Oh, the wonder,       we felt the lightning,

F                                                   - D                                     - G

    and we waited on the thunder,       waited on the thunder.        - - -

 

G  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    I awoke last night to the sound of thunder, 

C   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    how far off I sat and wondered,

G   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    started humming a song from 1962,

C   - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  Em  - - - - - -     - C

    ain't it funny how the night moves,

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   Em  - - - - - - - - - - - -    - C

    when you just don't seem to have as much to lose,

    - - - - - - - - - - -  Em   - - - -   - C   - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   - G

  strange how the night moves,     with autumn closing in.     + G - F - C

 

    F G                  - F  C

+    Night moves,      night moves. (9x with varying lyrics)

 

+  Em      - Bm             - Am       - C        - G

        Ooo,       oh, yeah,      uhu,     uhu,       I remember, I remember.
