'Long About Midnight Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Just take a look [C]at Harlem after sundown,
Any time you choose
It's hard to [Am]find the people
[A]feeling run- down
[Am]There's no time for blues.

[Verse 2]
If you don't know just what [Am]to really do
Just take a walk along the avenue
[F]You'll hear the sound[D]s
come a- [G]floatin' through
[C]Along about midnight.

[Verse 3]
They close the windows [C]and
they dim the light
To hide their doings from
a stranger's sight
[F]Everything is [D]going [G]right,
'Long [C]about midnight.

[Verse 4]
[F]Pianos tinkle, and the couples sway,
Tak[C]ing the pleasures they find,
[F]They don't care how
they [D]live by day,
[G]Why not leave trouble behind?
[C][D][C]

[Verse 5]
They're not pretending
like the hoy- falloy
They really mean it it's
the real Mc[F]Coy.
They turn an ounce of [D]booze into
[G]a pound of joy,
[C]'Long about midnight!
