NIGHT IN THE CITY- Joni Mitchell
TUNING:
E, capo 3rd fret
Light up, light up, light up your lazy blue eyes
Moon's up, night's up, taking the town by surprise
Night time, night time, day left an hour ago
City light time, must you get ready so slow
There are places to come from and pla- ces to go
CHORUS #1:
Night in the city looks pretty to me
F#m11/
Night in the city look fine
Music comes spilling out into the street
F#m11/
Colors go flashing in time
Take off, take off, take off those stay at home shoes
Break off, shake off, take off those stay at home blues
Stairway, stairway, down to the crowds in the street
They go their way, looking for faces to greet
But we run on laughing with noone to meet
CHORUS #2:
Night in the city looks pretty to me
Night in the city looks fine
Music comes spilling out into the street
Colors go waltzing in time
