One of these Nights

One of these nights, one of these crazy old nights

we're gonna find out, pretty mama, what turns on your lights

The full moon is calling, the fever is high

and the wicked wind whispers and moans,

you got your demons, you got your desires,

well, I got a few of my own.

Oh, someone to be kind to in between the darkness and light.

Oh, coming right behind you, well, I'm gonna find you

One of these Nights.

One of these dreams, one of these lost and lonely dreams

we are gonna find a girl, one that really screams

I've been searchin' for the daughter of the devil himself

I've been searchin' for an angel in white.

I've been waitin' for a woman who's a little of both

and I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight.

Oh, loneliness will bind you in between the wrong and the right

Oh, coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you

One of these Nights...

She's one of a kind

Sometimes hard to find

RF1

Like a rainbow

Well, she's lost all her glory

And could tell you some stories

RF1

That we all should know

And there's too many hands

Being laid on her

Too many eyes will never see

That it's dragging her down

But you won't hear a sound as

RF1

She turns 'round

continue simile

Her beauty all aflight

It always seems to turn the tide

At midnight

And for her there is no rest

We are doing what is best

For our future

One of these days she may not

Be so good to you

One of these days she might

Chain you to the ground

But her fire is still burning

And her heart is still yearning to be found

Rhythm Figure 1 6 times over solo

Too many hands

Being laid on her

Too many eyes will never see

That it's dragging her down

But you won't hear a sound as

She turns round

Hollywood waltz

Springtime, the acacias are blooming.

Southern California will see one more day.

Dreamland and bus'ness is booming.

The birds are a singing as I drift away.

She looks another year older

from too many lovers who used her and ran.

But some nights, oh, she looks like an angel

and she's always willing to hold you again.

Chorus:

So give her this dance, she can't be forsaken.

Learn how to love her with all of her faults.

She gave more than she's taken

and I'll go down doing the Hollywood Waltz.

Springtime and the lady is grieving,

the lovers just stand there with nothing to say.

They got what they wanted, they're packing and leaving

to look for another to love the same way.

So give her this dance, she can't be forsaken.

Learn how to love her with all of her faults.

She gave more than she's taken

and I'll go down doing the Hollywood Waltz,

the Holly - wood Waltz,

the Holly - wood Waltz,

the Holly - wood Waltz,

the Holly - wood Waltz.

CHORDS:

Journey of the sorcerer

The HitchHiker's Guide movie-version has a variation on the 6-4-3-1 bit which goes like this--

And then a variation on the 5-3-2-1 which goes like this --

The strumming bit is muted in parts but is basically Am, Am7, D7, F6, played with the

on the 3rd fret (Cm, Cm7, etc...)

Lyin' eyes

City girls just seem to find out early

How to open doors with just a smile

A rich old man, and she wont' have to worry;

She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

CHORUS

------

You can't hide your lyin' eyes

And your smile is a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realize

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

Additional Lyrics

Late at night a big old house gets lonely

I guess every form of refuge has its price.

And it breaks her heart to think her love is only

Given to a man with hands as cold as ice.

So she tells him she must go out for the evening

To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down

But the knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'

She is headed for the cheatin' side of town

CHORUS

She gets up and pours herself a strong one

And stares out at the stars up in the sky

Another night, it's gonna be a long one

She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry

My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things

You set it up so well, so carefully

Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things

You're still the same old girl you used to be

CHORUS

Take it to the limit

All alone at the end of the evening

And the bright lights have faded to blue

I was thinkin' 'bout a woman who might have loved me

And I never knew

You know I've always been a dreamer Spent my life running round

And it's so hard to change Can't seem to settle down

But the dreams I've seen lately

Keep turnin' out and burnin' out & turnin' out the same

Chorus

So put me on a highway & show me a sign

And take it to the limit one more time

You can spend all your time making money

You can spend all your love making time

If it all fell to pieces tomorrow would you still be mine

And when you're looking for your freedom nobody seems to care

And you can't find the door, can't find it anywhere

When there's nothin' to believe in

Still you're commin' back, you're runnin' back, you're commin' back for more

Chorus

So put me on a highway & show me a sign

And take it to the limit one more time

Ending

Take it to the limit, take it to the limit

Take it to the limit one more time

You can take it to the limit, yes take it to the limit

One more time.

I wish you peace when the cold winds blow

Warmed by the fire's glow

I wish you comfort in the...the lonely times

Arms to hold you when you ache inside

I wish you hope when things are going bad

Kind words when times are sad

I wish you shelter from the...the ragin' wind

Coolin' waters at the fever's end

I wish you peace when times are hard

A light to guide you through the dark

And when storms are high and your...your dreams are low

I wish you the strength to let love grow Ahhh

I wish you the strength to let love flow

I wish you the strength to let love go
