Verse 1:
Emaj7 F#m7 Emaj7/Ab Amaj7
On a quiet night
Gmaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7 Bsus4
You can hear the rustling of the leaves
Emaj7 F#m7 Emaj7/Ab Amaj7
On a quiet night
Gmaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7 Bsus4
Distant voices carry softly in the breeze
Chorus 1:
C#m
And I'm inside my room
Abm
Captured in a moment's thought
Gmaj7 F#m7
Strumming on a chord from my guitar
A/B [N.C.; harpsichord as per intro]
Silently, silently (silently)
So silently (so silently)
Verse 2:
On a quiet night
Time hangs heavy in the air just like a cloud
I'm lying on my bed
Scratching my head, wondering what it's about
Chorus 2:
Are we all minstrels
Playing in a three-ring circus
Searching for a purpose that's not there
Silently, silently (silently)
So silently (so silently, so silently, so silently)
Bridge:

Eb7 Abm
Everybody's thinking
F# B
Gotta get ahead, gotta get ahead
Eb7 Abm
Everybody's drinking
F# A
Hurrying, worrying, playing the game
Abm
All acting the same
B A Abm F#m
As I look out through my windowpane
Verse 3:
On a quiet night
The wind, it can play tricks on your ear
Like some unsolved mystery
We all guess at the ending, but nobody comes near
[repeat chorus 2]
Coda:
A/B (harpsichord, recorder, drums, backward tambourine to fade)
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
