Music of the Night
 From Phantom of the Opera
(For all of those who play piano also and hate transposing.) 

Db         Ab         Db              Ab
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Db        Ab         Gb           Ab
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Gb            Db       Gb              Db
Silently the senses abandon their defences

Gb B Gb Db Ebm Fm

Db       Ab       Db                 Ab
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
Db         Ab         Gb             Ab
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Gb              Db             Gb               Db
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
          Gb              B    Gb         Db
Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light
Gb                 Ab7           Db
And listen to the music of the night

B                                   E
Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
          A                             Eb     Eb7
Purge all thoughts of the world you knew before
           Ab              Ab7              Db
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
           Fm             C           F
And you'll live as you've never lived before

Db         Ab         Db              Ab
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Db        Ab         Gb           Ab
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Gb            Db       Gb              Db
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
        Gb                  B       Gb      Db
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
    Gb               Ab7           Db
The darkness of the music of the night

         B                             E
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world
          A                             Eb
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
         
Ab            Ab7                Db
Let your soul take you where you long to be
     Fm       C             Fm              A
Only then can you belong to me

Db         Ab        Db     Ab
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Db         Ab         Gb           Ab
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Gb             Db               Gb           Db
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
       Gb            B    Gb      Db
To the power of the music that I write
Gb                Ab7           Db
The power of the music of the night

Ab Db Ab Db Ab Gb Ab7 Gb D Gb Db

Gb             B      Gb         Db
You alone can make my song take flight
Gb                Ab7           Gb     Dbm Cm C Db
Help me make the music of the night
