C               B                   Em
 That night her kiss told me it was over
 
C             B             Em    G
 I walked out late into the dark
 
          Am                         C        B
The misty gloom seems to soak up my sorrow
 
C                   B
 The further I went on
 
C                   B
 I felt a spreading calm
 
     C           B                   Em
Then suddenly my eyes were bathed in light
 
        C              B               Em
And the lovely lady in white was by my side
 
          G         Am                    C     B
She said "like me I see you’re walking alone
 
C                  B
 Won’t you please stay? "
 
C                B       G D  G D
 I couldn’t look away
 
 
 
          G D           G      D
She said, I... love the night
 
    G                 D                    G
The day is ok and the sun can be fun but I live
 
             D             G D  G D
To see those rays slip away
 
G D           G     D
I... love the night
 
           G          D                G
There’s so much I can show and give to you
 
            D            G     D
If you will welcome me tonight
 
   G            D             G    D
If only you had been there my dear
 
G              D               G     D
 We could have shared this together
 
 
 
etc..

For the intro, it isn't a G chord. It is actually a variation of a C X32033. In fact almost every G in your version should be replaced by this chord. The only G in this song is G Am(not major) C B Like me I see you're walking alone Also, I'm pretty sure the verses start with an Am instead of a C. It makes the C more pronounced when you switch from Am to C in the "Like me..." line. Hope you don't mind my nitpicking. If you try these changes I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I myself am a HUGE BOC fan! I saw them in concert a few months ago.
