Night Owl - from No Secrets - 1972

        F
Now a fish kinda likes the water
And that's just where he wants to be          
And a monkey kinda digs bananas
So he lives in the top of a tree
             G
But my eyes are made for darkness
          Eb      
So the nightime is right for me
       F
'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long

       F
Most folks they like the daytime
'Cause they like to see the shining sun
They're up in the mornin'
Off and a runnin' till they're too tired for havin' fun
           G
But when the sun goes down and the bright lights shine
            Eb
My daytime has just begun
        F
'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
I'm a nightowl honey, sleep all day long

Eb C

            Dm                        F  G
Won't you turn out them bright lights baby
          Dm                          F G
They're just about to drive me blind
               Dm                     F  G
Oh won't you draw then curtains for me papa
Ab                 A      Bb         Bdim   C  F
Watch and you'll see my love light shine

               G
Now there are two sides to this great big world
And one of them is always night
If you can take care of business in the sunshine baby
I guess you're gonna be alright
      A
But don't come looking for me to lend you a hand
                               Eb
My eyes just can't stand the light
               G
'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
