Am             B7                  Em
That night her kiss told me it was over

Am           B7             Em
I walked out late into the dark

G         Am                         C      B7
The misty gloom seemed to soak up my sorrow

Am                  B7
The further I went on

Am                  B7
I felt a spreading calm

         Am          B7                  Em
And then suddenly my eyes were bathed in light

      Am             B7             Em
And a lovely lady in white was by my side, she said

G          Am                  C   B7
Like me, I see you’re walking alone

Am                B7
Won’t you please stay?

Am                B7  C  D  C  D
I couldn’t look away
[Chorus 1]
              C  D            C    D
Then she said I      love the night

    C                   D
The day is okay and the sun can be fun

      C                 D          C   D  C  D
But I live to see those rays slip away

C  D            C     D
I      love the night

           C             D                C
There’s a lot that I can show and give to you

            D            C    D  C  D  Em
If you will welcome me tonight
[Verse 2]
Am             B7                  Em
No Mortal was meant to know such wonder

Am                B7             Em
  One look in the mirror told me so

G         Am                  C      B7
  Come darkness I’ll see her again

Am              B7
 Yes I’m gonna go

Am              B7  C  D  C  D
‘Cause now I know
[Chorus 2]
C  D          C     D
I    love the night

C               D
Out in the air, cool and clean

     C             D            C   D  C  D
It’s free it’s the only way to be

C  D          C     D
I    love the night

      C             D                C
Once hidden wonders now are there to see

          D              C  D  C  D
They were pointed out to me

   C            D             C    D
If only you had been there my dear

C              D             C      D
 We could have shared this together
[Instrumental] 8 bars of C D end on Em [Verse 3]
Am            B7             Em
  Now I never rise until sun falls

Am        B7              Em
   And my vision knows no walls

G                    Am              C      B7
 And I’m looking for ladies walking alone

Am                   B7
 And then forget the day

Am                 B7  C  D  C  D
 When they hear me say
[Chorus 3]
C  D            C  D
I    love the night

    C                   D
The day is okay and the sun can be fun

      C                 D          C   D  C  D
But I live to see those rays slip away

C  D            C        D  C  D
I    love the night babe

C  D            C  D
I    love the night
[Outro] Lengthy soloing over C D ending on a drawn-out Em
