Lyrics by Woody Guthrie Music by Jackson Browne [Intro] G C Em7 C Em C Em D C D G [Verse]
G
[tab]G           G/F# Em                       G
My eyes had been looking for you all over everywhere

G    Em              G
Over low roads, down highways

C               G
And bald deserts
[Chorus]
G            C                         G
You know the night (You know the night)

G            C                             G
You know the night (You know the night), I met you
[Verse]
G
Your eyes had this same shine about them, I noticed

G/F#   Em                            G
When I first looked through the wild wayward mist

G             Em                       G
I felt such a warm friendly cool sunny smile

G                C                         G
That I wanted to look in your eyes for all time

G     C                                         Em
And I felt like you feel when you feel like the angels are curling your hair

        C                                      Em
And you feel like the devil is scratching your heel

G      C                                         Em
I just felt like you feel when you feel like the angels are curling your hair

        C                                      G
And you feel like the devil is scratching your heel
[Chorus]
G            C                         G
You know the night (You know the night)

G            C                         G
You know the night (You know the night)

G                 C                  G
Did you feel this way too when I met you

G            C                           G                C                  G
You know the night (You know the night), I first met you (You know the night)
[Verse]
G                            C                   G
Did you look at me and think here's this guy who hopes like I hope

G   C                     G
And sees the same kind of dreams I see?

G           C                                         G
Because you wondered I know, if your hopes could find shape

G                    C                           G
In the words that we used there to work back the fog

G                   C                               G
Your hopes and your plans for the good of the people

G                 C                              G
Could all of your hundred and one dreams just as bright as the sun

G               C                              G                                C G
And all of your wants and your hottest desires find shape in the flow of my talk
[Chorus]
G            C                         G
You know the night (You know the night)

G            C                           G
You know the night (You know the night), I first met you
[Verse]
G
And if my jellied brain turns to ashes and sand

G/F#       Em                         G
There will still be such night smiles across all the land

G                        Em                        G
There will still be such faces meeting here in the dark

G         C                                 G
And there around the corner or maybe in the park

G            C                              G
It's when we meet this way and look at each other

G                    C                                    G
We get a hold of our scattered aims and we bring them and beat them and

G                          C                            G
Wrestle and fight them and heat them, and beat them and weld them together

G                  C           G
Like iron from the valley, and fire from the sky

G                  C           G
Like iron from the valley, and fire from the sky

G                  C           G
Like iron from the valley, and fire from the sky

G          C                                 G
This blast furnace heat burns in our peoples eyes
[Chorus]
G            C                         G
You know the night (You know the night)

G            C                         G
You know the night (You know the night)
[Verse]
G
You know the night I met you

G           G/F# Em                       G
My eyes had been looking for you all over everywhere

G    Em              G
Over low roads, down highways

C           G
Bald deserts

G     C                                         Em
And I felt like you feel when you feel like the angels are curling your hair

        C                                      Em
And you feel like the devil is scratching your heel

G      C                                         Em
I just felt like you feel when you feel like the angels are curling your hair

        C                                      G
And you feel like the devil is scratching your heel
