Chris de Burgh - The Ecstasy Of Flight (I Love The Night)
 
 
INTRO: Bm G Am Bm D Bm G
 
Bm              G
Come to my door, meet me at midnight,
        Bm           G
I can't wait anymore, and after midnight
        Em 
We must head for the town, keep under cover 
     C                      Em
'til dawn, with a bagful of wine
 
 
    Bm             G
The night is alive, look in the shadows,
        Bm              G
Because now is the time, out in the shadows,
      Em
To be somebody else, a complete transformation
         C                     Em
From the someone we are in the day
 
 
BRIDGE:
N.C.                      Em        D6    C
I hear a noise - there is something going on
N.C.                      Em        D6    C
I hear a voice - there is something going on
                          G               A
I see the boys - there is something going on
    C                         B
And something is happening to me, yea
 
 
CHORUS:
           Em                G
I love the night, I love the night,
           Am                        B
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,
           Em                G
I love the night, I love the night, 
           Am                       B
I love to dance with a stranger and feel her delight,
             C
And when the dancing is through, I kick off my shoes,
      G                          B       Em
And I listen to the beating of my heart
 
 
Bm             G              Bm
After the fall, then came the hunger
                         G
In the hearts of us all, ooh such a hunger
       Em
That begins after dark, hides in the heart
       C                      Em
Like a wolf that is waiting inside
 
 
BRIDGE:
N.C.                     Em        D6    C
I see a light - there is something going on
N.C.                           Em        D6    C
It's getting bright - there is something going on
                          G               A
I look outside - there is something going on
    C                     B
And someone is calling to me
 
 
CHORUS:
           Em                G
I love the night, I love the night,
           Am                        B
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,
           Em                G
I love the night, I love the night, 
          Am                     B
I love to be with a stranger and feel her delight,
             C
And when the morning begins, I have to get in
       G                         B       Em
Before sunlight can fall upon my face

I love the night, I love the night
