Chords
This is a great VU song, sung by Mo Tucker and covered I understand by
REM. Play this on an acoustic and drop the tuning a full step.
[Chorus]
(1,2,3)
C A7 If you close the door Dm G The night could last forever C A7 Leave the sunshine out Dm G And say hello to never
[Verse 1]
C C7 All the people are dancing and they're having such fun F Fm I wish it could happen to me C A7 But if you close the door Dm G C I'd never have to see the day again
[Chorus]
C A7 If you close the door Dm G The night could last forever C A7 Leave the wine glass out Dm G And drink a toast to never
[Verse 2]
C C7 Oh, someday I know someone will look into my eyes F And say hello Fm You're my very special one C A7 But if you close the door Dm G C (Bass line to bridge: C - B - Bb) I'd never have to see the day again
[Bridge]
Am E7 Am E7 Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars Am E7 Am Am G# G And the people on subways and trains Dm A7 Dm A7 Looking gray in the rain as they stand disarrayed F G Oh but people look well in the dark
[Chorus]
C A7 And if you close the door Dm G The night could last forever C A7 Leave the sunshine out Dm G And say hello to never
[Verse 3]
C C7 All the people are dancing and they're having such fun F Fm I wish it could happen to me C A7 Cause if you close the door Dm G C I'd never have to see the day again Dm G C A7 I'd never have to see the day again (once more) Dm G C I'd never have to see the day again
