Transcribed by John S. Jacob The lyrics are right out of the insert to "The Smiths I Best..." Yes, the chords sound picked, but I prefer to pound out (strum ) the chords and sing along. I mean, aren't these lyrics so uplifting?! ;-) As for rhythm , I always say go find a recording -- it's much easier than trying to get it from a transcription (or to put it into one, for that matter...) ##Capo up to the fourth fret (This song is really in the key of E). Intro: A5 F5 G5 A5 G5 A5 G5 F5 C5 G5 Take me out tonight A5 G5 where there's music and there's people A5 G5 F5 C5 G5 who are young and alive A5 G5 A5 G5 Driving in your car F5 C5 I never never want to go home G5 A5 G5 A5 G5 because I haven't got one F5 C5 G5 anymore A5 G5 A5 G5 F5 C5 G5 Take me out tonight A5 G5 because I want to see people and I A5 G5 F5 C5 G5 want to see lights A5 G5 A5 G5 Driving in your car F5 C5 oh please don't drop me home G5 A5 G5 because it's not my home, it's their A5 G5 F5 C5 G5 home, and I'm welcome no more Chorus: E5 F5 G5 C5 A5 And if a double-decker bus F5 G5 crashes into us C5 to die by your side F5 G5 such a heavenly way to die C5 A5 And if a ten ton truck F5 G5 kills the both of us C5 to die by your side F5 G5 the pleasure the privilege is mine A5 G5 A5 G5 F5 C5 G5 Take me out tonight A5 G5 A5 G5 F5 C5 G5 oh take me anywhere, I don't care A5 G5 A5 And in the darkened underpass G5 F5 C5 G5 I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last A5 G5 (but then a strange fear gripped me and I A5 G5 F5 C5 G5 just couldn't ask) A5 G5 A5 G5 F5 C5 G5 Take me out tonight A5 G5 A5 G5 F5 C5 G5 take me anywhere, I don't care A5 G5 A5 G5 Just driving in your car F5 C5 I never never want to go home G5 A5 G5 A5 G5 because I haven't got one F5 C5 G5 I haven't got one Chorus A5 G5 A5 G5 There is a light and it never goes out F5 C5 G5 There is a light and it never goes out
