(*1*)

         Fm9-5    Bbm7    Cm7  C#maj7
Whenever dark has fallen
             Fm9-5          Bbm7
you know the spirit of the party
           Cm7   C#maj7
starts to come alive.
          Fm9-5  Bbm7    Cm7  C#maj7
Until the day is dawning
         Fm9-5            Bbm7
you can throw out all your blues
            Cm7  C#maj7
and hit the city lights.
               Bbm7'
'Cause there's music in the air
              Bbm7
and lots of loving everywhere
              Fm9-5     Bbm7   Cm7  C#maj7
so gimme the night.
          Fm9-5     Bbm7   Cm7  C#maj7
Gimme the night.

(Come *1*)
You need the evening action,
a place to dine, a glass of wine,
a little late romance.
It's a chain reaction.
You'll see the people of the world
coming out to dance.


               Bbm7
'Cause there's music in the air
            Eb
and lots of loving everywhere
               Fm9-5     Bbm7   Cm7  C#maj7
so gimme the night.
            Fm9-5     Bbm7   Cm7  C#maj7
Gimme the night.

(*2*)
           Abm7      F#
So come on out tonight
     Ebm7          C#
and we'll lead the others
     Abm7'      F#'    Ebm7'   C#'
on a ride through paradise.
           Abm7      F#
And if you feel all right
     Ebm7        C#            Abm7'
then we can be lovers 'cause I see that
 F#'         E    E-3add11    Abm6-5add11     Ab6-5sus4
starlight look in your eyes.
          B6-5add11  B6sus4        Eb7
Don't you know we can fly?


              Fm9-5     Bbm7   Cm7  C#maj7
Just gimme the night.
          Fm9-5     Bbm7   Cm7  C#maj7
Gimme the night.


(Come *1*)

And if we stay together,
we'll feel the rhythm of the evening
taking us up high.
Never mind the weather.
We'll be dancing in the street
until the morning light.
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere.
So gimme the night. Gimme the night...
