**Notes on the outro** In the outro, I have written the right hand notes and then the corresponding left hand notes. The first two lines you play together, and the last two lines you play together. Just note that the rhythm for the right hand notes are the same as the melody of the song. You can just play the chords listed in the left hand if the right hand is too hard for you :) Music of the Night Phantom of the Opera Intro: C# , Ab (x2) C# Ab/C# F#/C# Ab/C# Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation C# Ab/C# F#/C# Ab/C# Darkness stirs and wakes imagination F# C#2/F F# C#2/F Silently the senses abandon their defenses F# B F# C# Helpless to resist the notes I write Ebm Ab Ab7 C# For I compose the music of the night C# Ab/C# F#/C# Ab/C# Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendor C# Ab/C# F#/C# Ab/C# Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender F# C#2/F F# C#2/F Turn your face away from the garish light of day F# B F# C# Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light Ebm Ab Ab7 C# And listen to the music of the night B E Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams A Eb Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before Ab F#/Ab C# Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar Fm C F And you'll live as you've never lived before C# Ab/C# F#/C# Ab/C# Softly, deftly, music shall caress you C# Ab/C# F#/C# Ab/C# Hear it, feel it secretly possess you F# C#2/F F# C#2/F Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind F# B F# C# In this darkness that you know you cannot fight Ebm Ab Ab7 C# The darkness of the music of the night B E Let your mind start a journey to a strange new world A Eb Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before Ab F#/Ab C# Let your soul take you where you long to be Fm C F Only then can you belong to me C# Ab/C# F#/C# Ab/C# Floating, falling, sweet intoxication C# Ab/C# F#/C# Ab/C# Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation F# C#2/F F# C#2/F Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in F# B F# C# To the power of the music that I write Ebm Ab Ab7 The power of the music of the night Outro: Right Hand (Octaves): F , Ab , Eb , Ab , C# , Eb F F# Eb , Ab (x2) Left Hand (Chords): C# Ab F# Ab (x2) R/B : Bb , C# C# C# Eb , C# , C , Bb , C# C# C# Eb , C# C L/B : F# C# F# C# F# B F# C# You alone can make my song take flight Ebm Ab Ab7 Help me make the music of the.....
