Patty Loveless, Nights Too Long Tabs

Patty Loveless : The night's too long
From : On down the line
Also sung by Lucinda Williams

[A]
Sylvia was working
     [D]
As a waitress in Beaumont
         [A]
She said I'm moving away
                     [E]
I'm gonna get what I want
    [A]
I'm tired of these small town boys
     [D]
they don't move fast enough
          [A]
I'm gonna find me one who wears a leather jacket
    [E]              [A]
And likes his living rough.

[A]
So she saved her tips and overtime
    [D]
And bought an old rusty car.
    [A]
She sold most evereything she had
                    [E]
To make a brand new start.
           [A]
She said I won't be needing these
      [D]
Silly dresses and nylon hose
              [A]
'Cause when I get to where I'm goin'
          [E]            [A]
I'm gonna buy me all new clothes.

        [A7]            [D]
Chorus: The night's too long
                      [A]
        It just drags on and on
                               [E]
        And then there's never enough
                                   [A]
        That's when the sun starts coming up
        [A7]                [D]
        Don't let go of her hand
                              [A]   [D]
        You just might be the right man
        [E]           [D]    [E]           [D]
        She loves the night, she loves the night
                           [A]
        Doesn't want it to end.

         [A]        
Well she works in an office now
        [D]                  [A]
And she guesses the pay's allright
[A]
She can buy a few new things to wear
                    [E]
And still go out at night
       [A]
And as soon as she gets home from work
             [D]
She wants to be out with the crowd
              [A]
Where she can dance and toss her head back
    [E]       [A]
And lough out loud.

[A]
Now the music's playing fast
    [D]
And they just met
           [A]
He presses up against her
                                [E]
And his shirt's all soaked with sweat
             [A]
And with her back against the bar
        [D]
She can listen to the band
          [A]
And she's holding a Corona
         [E]              [A]
And it's cold against her hand.

Chorus: ....
