Fill In
Just for those of you too lazy to work out the fill ins for yourself... while its
to play it around the 2nd fret(as i've tabbed it),
i myself think it sounds much nicer on the 3rd string, around the 6-9th frets; its got a
sound.

Chorus
[Chords]
[Intro]
[Verse 1] - C#m, C#m+7, A, E(low), G#m
C#m C#m+7
Oh the wind whistles down
A A(Open)
The cold dark street tonight
E G#m
And the people they were dancing to the music vibe
C#m
And the boys chase the girls
C#m+7
With the curls in their hair
A A(Open)
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
E
And the songs they get louder
G#m
Each one better than before
[Chorus]
C#m
And you’re singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
A A(Open)
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
E(high)
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna go
G#m
Where you gonna sleep tonight
C#m
And you’re singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
A A(Open)
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
E(high)
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna go
G#m
Where you gonna sleep tonight
[Bridge]
[Verse 2]
C#m C#m+7
So you’re heading down the road
In your taxi for four
A A(Open)
And you’re waiting outside Jimmy’s front door
E(low) G#m
But nobody’s in and nobody’s home ‘til four
C#m C#m+7
So you’re sitting there with nothing to do
A A(Open)
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
E(low) G#m
And where you’re gonna go and where you’re gonna sleep tonight
