One of these Nights
Em D6 | Cj7 | Am | Em Bm7 B7 |
Em D6 Cmaj7
One of these nights, one of these crazy old nights
Am Em Bm7 B7
we're gonna find out, pretty mama, what turns on your lights
Em D6
The full moon is calling, the fever is high
Cmaj7
and the wicked wind whispers and moans,
Am
you got your demons, you got your desires,
Em Bm7 B7
well, I got a few of my own.
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
Oh, someone to be kind to in between the darkness and light.
Cmaj7 Am
Oh, coming right behind you, well, I'm gonna find you
B7
One of these Nights.
Em D6 Cmaj7
One of these dreams, one of these lost and lonely dreams
Am Em Bm7 B7
we are gonna find a girl, one that really screams
Em D6
I've been searchin' for the daughter of the devil himself
Cmaj7
I've been searchin' for an angel in white.
Am
I've been waitin' for a woman who's a little of both
Em Bm7 B7
and I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight.
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
Oh, loneliness will bind you in between the wrong and the right
Cmaj7 Am
Oh, coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you
B7
One of these Nights...

She's one of a kind
D5
Sometimes hard to find
RF1
Like a rainbow
D5
Well, she's lost all her glory
D5
And could tell you some stories
RF1
That we all should know
G5 F5
And there's too many hands
D5
Being laid on her
G5 F5 D5
Too many eyes will never see
G5
That it's dragging her down
F5 E5
But you won't hear a sound as
RF1
She turns 'round
continue simile
Her beauty all aflight
It always seems to turn the tide
At midnight
And for her there is no rest
We are doing what is best
For our future
One of these days she may not
Be so good to you
One of these days she might
Chain you to the ground
But her fire is still burning
F5 E5 D5
And her heart is still yearning to be found
Rhythm Figure 1 6 times over solo
Too many hands
Being laid on her
Too many eyes will never see
That it's dragging her down
But you won't hear a sound as
She turns round

Hollywood waltz
Intro: E A B
A E/G# B
E G#m A E
Springtime, the acacias are blooming.
E A F#m B B C#m B/D#
Southern California will see one more day.
E G#m A E
Dreamland and bus'ness is booming.
E A F#m B B C#m B/D#
The birds are a singing as I drift away.
She looks another year older
from too many lovers who used her and ran.
But some nights, oh, she looks like an angel
and she's always willing to hold you again.
Chorus:
A B E A
So give her this dance, she can't be forsaken.
E A F#m B B C#m B/D#
Learn how to love her with all of her faults.
E G#m A C#m
She gave more than she's taken
E A B A E/G# F#m7 B C#m B/D#
and I'll go down doing the Hollywood Waltz.
Springtime and the lady is grieving,
the lovers just stand there with nothing to say.
They got what they wanted, they're packing and leaving
to look for another to love the same way.
So give her this dance, she can't be forsaken.
Learn how to love her with all of her faults.
She gave more than she's taken
E A B A E/G# F#m7
and I'll go down doing the Hollywood Waltz,
B C#m B/D# A E/G# F#m7
the Holly - wood Waltz,
B C#m B/D# A E/G# F#m7
the Holly - wood Waltz,
B C#m B/D# A E/G# F#m7
the Holly - wood Waltz,
B C#m B/D# A E/G# F#m7 B C#m B/D#
the Holly - wood Waltz.

Lyin' eyes
G Gmaj7 C
City girls just seem to find out early
Am D
How to open doors with just a smile
G Gmaj7 C
A rich old man, and she wont' have to worry;
Am C G
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style
CHORUS
------
G C G
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
Em Bm Am D
And your smile is a thin disguise
G G7 C A
I thought by now you'd realize
Am D G
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Additional Lyrics
-----------------
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price.
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice.
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But the knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
CHORUS
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be
CHORUS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take it to the limit
Intro: C F C G F
C F
All alone at the end of the evening
C F
And the bright lights have faded to blue
C E7 Am
I was thinkin' 'bout a woman who might have loved me
G C
And I never knew
D C F
You know I've always been a dreamer Spent my life running round
C F
And it's so hard to change Can't seem to settle down
Dm F
But the dreams I've seen lately
FaddG G F G
Keep turnin' out and burnin' out & turnin' out the same
Chorus
F C F C
So put me on a highway & show me a sign
F G C G F
And take it to the limit one more time
C F
You can spend all your time making money
C F
You can spend all your love making time
C E7 Am G
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow would you still be mine
D C F
And when you're looking for your freedom nobody seems to care
C F
And you can't find the door, can't find it anywhere
Dm F
When there's nothin' to believe in
FaddG G F
Still you're commin' back, you're runnin' back, you're commin' back for more
Chorus
F C F C
So put me on a highway & show me a sign
F G Am G
And take it to the limit one more time
Ending
F G F G
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit
F G C
Take it to the limit one more time
F G F G
You can take it to the limit, yes take it to the limit
C
One more time.
