Maggie Reilly - In The Heat Of The Night
 
 
CAPO: 5th Fret
 
 
F
Blossoms fall like rain
        Am        G    C
Under a sleepless moon
Dm        C     Em               Am    G
Amber fireflies dance across the shore
F                       Am
Helping her to keep her hopes alive
Dm             Em        Am
All those tiny sparks of flame
 
 
CHORUS:
           F                     G                    F
But in the heat of the night her blood runs cold, can she survive?
                                 G                 F
And in the heat of the night she longs to feel his touch
                                G                Am
Her mind is reeling and she can feel the earth revolving
       F                     G                Dm
In the heat of the night she needs him, oh so much
 
 
F
Many miles away
        G           Am
Under a starlit sky
      Dm        Em
He's lying all alone
                Am
Waiting for the dawn
 
 
CHORUS:
           F                     G                    F
But in the heat of the night his blood runs cold, can he survive?
                                  G               F
And in the heat of the night he's burning for her touch
                    G                   Am
How could he let it slip right thru his fingers
            F                    G                Dm
When in the heat of the night he needs her, oh so much
 
 
G    C     F               C
Come to me now (come to me now)
 
Please take my hand
           F                         C      G          Am
Look in my heart and you'll find someone forever true
 
 
C            Em       F                   C
You know our love is alive (somewhere out there)
 
Waiting for you
               F                      G
It's shining a light on the path that leads me back to you
 
 
INSTRUMENTAL: C F G Am C Dm G Em Am G Am
 
 
CHORUS:
           F                     G                    F
But in the heat of the night her blood runs cold, can she survive?
                                   G               F
And in the heat of the night she's burning for his touch
                     G                   Am
How could she let it slip right thru her fingers
            F                     G                Dm    Am
When in the heat of the night she needs him, oh so much
 
 
OUTRO: (fade)
           F
But in the heat of the night
(how could he ever feel so lonely)
    G               F  Am
His blood runs cold
           F
But in the heat of the night
(how could he ever feel so lonely)
    G               F  Am
His blood runs cold
