Strumming
Tuning: D G C F A D
This is a great VU song, sung by Mo Tucker and covered I understand by
REM. Play this on an acoustic and drop the tuning a full step.
[Chorus]
(1,2,3)
If you Cclose the A7door
The Dmnight could last forGever
Leave the Csunshine A7out
And Dmsay hello to neGver
[Verse 1]
All the Cpeople are dancing and they're C7having such fun
I Fwish it could happen to Fmme
But if you Cclose the A7door
I'd Dmnever have to Gsee the day aCgain
[Chorus]
If you Cclose the A7door
The Dmnight could last forGever
Leave the Cwine glass A7out
And Dmdrink a toast to Gnever
[Verse 2]
Oh, Csomeday I know someone will C7look into my eyes
And say helFlo
You're my very special Fmone
But if you Cclose the A7door
Dm G C (Bass line to bridge: C - B - Bb)
I'd never have to see the day again
[Bridge]
AmDark party E7bars, shiny AmCadillac E7cars
And the Ampeople on E7subways and Amtrains Am G# G
Looking Dmgray in the A7rain as they Dmstand disarA7rayed
Oh but Fpeople look well in the Gdark
[Chorus]
And if you Cclose the A7door
The Dmnight could last forGever
Leave the Csunshine A7out
And Dmsay hello to Gnever
[Verse 3]
All the Cpeople are dancing and they're C7having such fun
I Fwish it could happen to Fmme
Cause if you Cclose the A7door
I'd Dmnever have to Gsee the day aCgain
I'd Dmnever have to Gsee the day aCgain (onA7ce more)
I'd Dmnever have to Gsee the day aCgain
