of a friday night Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][D][Am][D][Am][Em][Am]

[Verse 1]
Just [D]across
[Am]from the hospital
Still in[D]side in the red [Am]lights
A couple blocks from the
Orthodox Church
That's where the old [D]poet [Am]lived

[Verse 2]
In his eye[D]glasses
and his [C]neck[Am]tie
And the win[D]dow [Em]looking [Am]down
On the young [D]man [Am]passing by
On [D]the fullness [E]of [D]the town
[A]Full of them good

[Verse 3]
[G]time gam[D]blers
[A]Full of their rest[F]less [G]wives[D][A]
Full of them [G]mid[D]night writers
[A]Out in the quarter on a [D]Friday night
[A]Out in the bright[G]ness on a
[D]Friday [A]night
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[A]
[Am]And the big horns blow[D]ed and
[C]the pi[Am]anos played
And the music [D]rose to the
[C]old [Am]man's ears
I guess those were the olden days
I guess those [D]were [Am]the golden [D]years

[Verse 5]
And now the town is empty
[A]Empty as a mirror
[G]Empty as the harbor and
the [D]barber's chair
Where did [C]the old poet [Csus4]go?[F][G]
I asked [Dm]around[D]
Nobody [A]knows

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][A][C][G]
[Bm][A][G][D][A][G][D][Am]

[Verse 6]
Maybe [D]I came too [Am]early
Maybe [D]I came too late
[Am]I'm waiting in the shadows
[D]of the scaffolds
Of the [Am]old cafés where
you told me to wait
[D][Am]

[Verse 7]
And I've got this [D]lingering [Am]feeling
It's like [D]I've [C]slipped [Am]in between
Fingers of [D]the century
[Am]I know you know wh[D]at I mea[A]n

[Verse 8]
I'll be a good [D]time gambler
[A]I'll be a [C]restless [G]wife[Bm][A]
I'll be a mid[G]night [D]writer
[A]Out in the quarter [G]on a Fri[D]day night

[Verse 9]
[A]Call me a good- [G]time [D]gambler
[A]Call me a r[C]estless wif[Bm]e[D][A]
Call [G]me a mid[D]night writer

[Verse 10]
[A]Out in the [G]quarter on a [D]Friday night
[A]Out in [G]the brightness of a [D]Friday night
[A]Call me [G]the brightness [D]of a[G]Fri[D] da[A]y ni[Bm]ght

[Outro 1]
[G][D][A][Csus4][F][G][Bm][D][A][C][Bm][D][A]
