As recorded by Jesse Welles (2025 release) [Intro] Cadd4 Fmaj7/A G Cadd4 Fmaj7/A C/G [Verse 1]
         C       Am
Well the lake is blue

        C      Am
And the sky is too

        F       G       Am
And the moon is shining bright

       C        Am
It's a mountain town

         C         Am
Babe you can't get down

C               G
Where are you tonight

     F
They closed up the block

        Fm
And the souvenir shops

        C                     A
And the street is starting to glow

             F
You'd better get past the past

    Fm
And do it fast

       C                     G
If you wanna take the future slow
[Chorus]
               F
Won't you come out tonight

                      C      F
I don't know how long I'll stay

               C
Won't you come out tonight

         G                C
Babe I'd love to see your face
[Verse 2]
C            Am
With yer sweater on

        C         Am
And yer blues all gone

F            G        Am
Breathe that mountain air

         C   Am
From the allegheny's

       C       Am
To the ozark's baby

F          C       G
They take away yer cares

     F
It's friday night and

        Fm
You can hear em fightin

       C
In the stadium

      A
Cross town

        F
I gotta work in the mornin

           Fm
But if the game gets boring

       C                  G
Well I guess I can stick around
[Chorus]
               F
Won't you come out tonight

                      C      F
I don't know how long I'll stay

               C
Won't you come out tonight

         G                C
Babe I'd love to see your face
[Harmonica Solo] C Am F C Am C Am F C [Bridge]
          Em
And if it aint even real

     F
Baby I'll still kneel

         Em          F
I forget to pray sometimes

    Em
But when I do

  F
I pray for you

      G                   G7
And I hope that you'll be mine
[Chorus]
               F
Won't you come out tonight

                      C      F
I don't know how long I'll stay

               C
Won't you come out tonight

         G                F    C
Babe I'd love to see your face
