------------------............
 
*from 'In the Right Place' (1973)*
 
 
*CAPO 3rd FRET*
 
(Original Key: Bb)
 
 
Verse 1:
 
G             Gm
 Such a night, it's such a night,
D                 F#7       Bm        D9
 Sweet confusion, under the moonlight.
 
Verse 2:
 
G             Gm
 Such a night, it's such a night,
D                   F#7     Bm    D9
 To steal away; the time is right.
 
Verse 3:
 
     G                     Gm
Your eyes caught mine, and, at a glance,
D                      F#7         Bm     D9
 You let me know, that this was my chance.
 
Bridge 1:
 
                          G
And you came here with my best friend, Jim,
                         A7                      (n.C)
And here I am, trying to steal you away from him.  Oh...
 
Chorus 1:
 
       D       G                    D         G
But if I don't do it, you know some-body else will,
   D       G                    D         G
If I don't do it, you know some-body else will.
   D       G                    D         G
If I don't do it, you know some-body else will,
   D       G                    D         G
If I don't do it, you know some-body else will.
 
Verse 4:
 
         G             Gm
And it's, such a night, such a night,
D                 F#7       Bm        D9
 Sweet confusion, under the moonlight.
 
Verse 5:
 
G                  Gm
 It's such a night, such a night,
D                   F#7     Bm    D9
 To steal away; the time is right.
 
Verse 6:
 
      G
Yet I couldn't believe my ears,
       Gm
And my heart just skipped a beat,
D
 When you told me,
            F#7              Bm     D9
To take you walkin' down the street.
 
Bridge 2:
 
                               G
Oh yeah, you came here with my best friend, Jim;
               A7                         (n.C)
Here I am, and stealin' you away from him.  Oh...
 
Chorus 2:
 
       D       G                    D         G
But if I don't do it, you know some-body else will,
   D       G                    D         G
If I don't do it, you know some-body else will.
   D       G                    D         G
If I don't do it, you know some-body else will,
   D       G                    D         G
If I don't do it, you know some-body else will.

yep. i agree with the 7 instead of 9. Last Waltz version (in Bb) i clearly hear that Eb and do not hear any G (the 9th) at all. also- anybody know why the transpose function doesn't label in flat, only sharp? it's kind of like calling pink 'light red' instead of pink. keyboard and horns usually go for flat keys, don't they? easier reading. Bb has two flats, A# has A#,B#,C*(##), etc.

In the key of Bb,instead of an F9th chord (D9th in G) use F7th or D7th in G. Dr. John plays an F7th on the piano for that 4 beat transition back to his starting chord of Bb.
