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 half-step.
AFTERHOURS
(1,2,3)
If you Cclose the A7door
The Dmnight could last forGever
Leave the Csunshine A7out
And Dmsay hello to neGver
All the Cpeople are talking and they're C7having such fun
I Fwish this could happen to Fmme
But if you Cclose the A7door
I'll Dmnever have to Gsee the day aCgain
But if you Cclose the A7door
The Dmnight could last forGever
Leave the Cwine glass A7out
And Dmdrink a toast to Gnever
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'll never have to see the day again
Bridge:
AmDark party E7bars, shiny AmCadillac E7cars
Am E7 Am Am-G#-G
And people on subways and trains
Looking Dmgrey in the A7rain as they Dmstand disarA7rayed
Oh butF people look well in theG dark
If you Cclose the A7door
The Dmnight could last forGever
Leave the Csunshine A7out
And Dmsay hello to Gnever
CSomeday I know someone will C7look into my eyes
And say Fhello
You're my very special Fmone
But if you Cclose the A7door
I'll Dmnever have to Gsee the day Cagain A7
I'llDm never have toG see the dayC again (A7once more)
I'll Dmnever have to Gsee the day Cagain
Am E7
