Jacob (jsjacob@soda.berkeley.edu)<br/> <br/> The lyrics are right out of the insert to "The Smiths I Best..."<br/> Yes, the chords sound picked, but I prefer to pound out (strum)<br/> the chords and sing along. I mean, aren't these lyrics so<br/> uplifting?! ;-)<br/> <br/> As for rhythm, I always say go find a recording -- it's much<br/> easier than trying to get it from a transcription (or to put<br/> it into one, for that matter...)<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Intro:<br/> <br/> Am F G<br/> <br/> <br/> Am G Am G F C G<br/> Take me out tonight<br/> <br/> Am G<br/> where there's music and there's people<br/> <br/> Am G F C G<br/> who are young and alive<br/> <br/> <br/> Am G Am G<br/> Driving in your car<br/> <br/> F C<br/> I never never want to go home<br/> <br/> G Am G Am G<br/> because I haven't got one<br/> <br/> F C G<br/> anymore<br/> <br/> <br/> Am G Am G F C G<br/> Take me out tonight<br/> <br/> Am G<br/> because I want to see people and I<br/> <br/> Am G F C G<br/> want to see lights<br/> <br/> <br/> Am G Am G<br/> Driving in your car<br/> <br/> F C<br/> oh please don't drop me home<br/> <br/> G Am G<br/> because it's not my home, it's their<br/> <br/> Am G F C G<br/> home, and I'm welcome no more<br/> <br/> <br/> Chorus:<br/> <br/> Em F<br/> <br/> G C Am<br/> And if a double-decker bus<br/> <br/> F G<br/> crashes into us<br/> <br/> C<br/> to die by your side<br/> <br/> F G<br/> such a heavenly way to die<br/> <br/> <br/> C Am<br/> And if a ten ton truck<br/> <br/> F G<br/> kills the both of us<br/> <br/> C<br/> to die by your side<br/> <br/> F G<br/> the pleasure the privilege is mine<br/> <br/> <br/> Am G Am G F C G<br/> Take me out tonight<br/> <br/> Am G Am G F C G<br/> oh take me anywhere, I don't care<br/> <br/> <br/> Am G Am<br/> And in the darkened underpass<br/> <br/> G F C G<br/> I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last<br/> <br/> Am G<br/> (but then a strange fear gripped me and I<br/> <br/> Am G F C G<br/> just couldn't ask)<br/> <br/> <br/> Am G Am G F C G<br/> Take me out tonight<br/> <br/> Am G Am G F C G<br/> take me anywhere, I don't care<br/> <br/> <br/> Am G Am G<br/> Just driving in your car<br/> <br/> F C<br/> I never never want to go home<br/> <br/> G Am G Am G<br/> because I haven't got one<br/> <br/> F C G<br/> I haven't got one<br/> <br/> <br/> Chorus<br/> <br/> <br/> Am G Am G<br/> There is a light and it never goes out<br/> <br/> F C G<br/> There is a light and it never goes out<br/> <br/> <br/> -- <br/> [======== John S.
