Night And Day

I was just trying to figure out this amazing song and I figure I'd contribute my

so others can enjoy.

The strumming is done by picking down on a bass note then strumming up on the bottom

then picking down on the next bass note and then up again on the bottom strings.

For the F - F7 parts I use an open chord and switch between:

1--- 0---|

1--- 1---|

-2-- -2--|

--3- --3-|

---- ----|

---- ----|

I don't think the other chords matter.

Intro

F F7

Bbm Dm

I know a girl with cuts on her legs.

A A#

I think that she hates the way she was made,

A A#

but we never spoke of why they were there,

Dm A#

I just squeezed them and kissed them

F C F F7

‘til we both felt a bit better.

Bbm Dm

And now I’ve returned to the town where she dwells;

A A#

that small lonely cabin her grandfather built,

A A#

I suppose that’s where she’s imprisoned herself,

Dm A# F C

to write all those words she’s too scared to tell –

Dm A# F C F F7

those sad, short stories of a girl curled up in her shell.

Dm A F C

Night and day she tends to the bar.

F F7 A# F

She pours the drinks, they pour out their hearts.

Dm A F C

All that sorrow and al-co-hol

F F7

weighs hard on her thoughts,

Bbm

so she writes them down….

Bbm F F7

she loves them all.

Bbm

And when we’d make love

Dm

she’d stare in my eyes….

A A#

I swore we had met a thousand times.

A A#

Thousands of lives, thousands of nights….

Dm A# F C

She’d written within a thousand lines.

(pause)

Dm A F C

Night and day she tends to her bar.

F F7 A# F

She pours me a drink for my thirsty heart.

Dm A F C

All my sorrow’s in al-co-hol…

F F7 Bbm

she holds up the cup to my parched lips

F F7

for a kiss.
