B5
Full moon rising over Alcatraz
F#5                  A5     E5
Hangin' there like a big topaz
B5
Ruling this night of a thousand stars
F#5                      A5      E5 
With a back seat full of broken guitars
B5
Raised in chains by Jehosaphat's daughter
F#5                            A5       E5
Served twenty years for walkin' on the water
B5
Just out fishin' for love in the rain
F#5                      A5          E5
From an easy chair in the passing lane
F#5                     A5        E5
If I had forgotten, I'd remember well
F#5                         A5        E5
The fruit and the tree from which it fell
F#5                     A5         E5
Many long years rollin' homeward bound
F#5                            A5          E5
Goin' hell-for-leather on this merry go round


Chorus

E5          B5        A5
Night of a thousand stars
E5            B5      A5
The sound of sweet guitars
B5              A5
On this night (on this night)
B5              A5
On this night (on this night)
B5              A5
On this night (on this night)
B5                           E5
On this night of a thousand stars


B5
Down in the laundry with my head in my hands
F#5                  A5     E5
Doin' whatsoever the Lord commands
B5
Poppin' the hood off a Ford V8
F#5                         A5          E5
Disguised with an out of state license plate
B5
Payin' my taxes in whiskey and blood
F#5                      A5          E5
Mixed in a barrel floating on the flood
B5
Doing my penance for a life of crime
F#5                      A5          E5
Singing B Minor Masses in double time
F#5                        A5          E5
The tiger and the lion hanging on the wall
F#5                           A5          E5
Between the head of a saint and a bocce ball
F#5                     A5          E5
I've been rebuked and I've been scorned
F#5                                A5          E5
But I can't ever say that I haven't been warned

[chorus]

Bridge
E5                B5   A5
I tried to serve you right
E5                    B5    A5 - E5
I tried to serve you well
E5                     B5          A5
It looked all right by morning light
B5                A5
In hindsight - who can tell?

Jam on Chorus

B5
Flipping through the pages of my soul 
F#5                          A5    E5
My heart rears up and swallows me whole
B5
These were moments of my life
F#5                          A5     E5 
Since dissected with a thick blunt knife
B5
If I could recapture one moment of truth
F#5                           A5        E5
From the firm foundation of a misspent youth
B5
I'd fall like rain on this thirsty earth
F#5                   A5     E5
A testament of beauty and worth
F#5                         A5      E5
But if it don't happen because it can't
F#5                   A5          E5
I hope and pray this wish you grant
F#5                       A5       E5
From one man's heart to a falling star
F#5                 A5      E5
We always remember who we are

Jam on Chorus

B5
Remember the night of a thousand stars 
F#5                     A5      E5
When love swam naked in the reservoir
B5
Writing mad sonnets in the midnight park
F#5                         A5    E5 
Leaving tracks of tears for her watermark
B5
Drums of the jungle on the edge of night
F#5                          A5        E5 
Only you could see with your perfect sight
B5
If you don't remember you can be excused
F#5                   A5    E5 
'Cause it could never be reproduced

[chorus] + jam
