The Night's Too Long Lucinda Williams
Capo 2nd Fret (originally in A)
[G]Sylvia was working
As a w[C]aitress in Beaumont
She said I[G]'m moving away
I'm gonna get what I w[D]ant
I'm t[G]ired of these small town boys
they d[C]on't move fast enough
I'm gonna f[G]ind me one who wears a leather jacket
And l[D]ikes his living[G] rough.
S[G]o she saved her tips and overtime
And b[C]ought an old rusty car.
She s[G]old most everything she had
To make a brand new s[D]tart.
She said I w[G]on't be needing these
Silly d[C]resses and nylon hose
'Cause when I g[G]et to where I'm goin'
I'm gonna b[D]uy me all new[G] clothes.
Chorus
T[G7]he night's too l[C]ong
It just [G]drags on and on
And then there's never [D]enough
That's when the sun starts [G]coming up
Do[G7]n't let go of her [C]hand
You just [G]mig[C]ht be the right man
She[D] loves the n[C]ight, sh[D]e loves the[C] night
Doesn't want it to[G] end.
Well she [G]works in an office now
And she [C]guesses the pay's all[G]right
[G]She can buy a few new things to wear
And still go out at [D]night
And as [G]soon as she gets home from work
She wants to [C]be out with the crowd
Where she can [G]dance and toss her head back
And [D]lough out [G]loud.
[G]Now the music's playing fast
And [C]they just met
He presses [G]up against her
And his shirt's all soaked with [D]sweat
And with her [G]back against the bar
She can [C]listen to the band
And she's [G]holding a Corona
And it's [D]cold against her [G]hand.
Chorus
T[G7]he night's too l[C]ong
It just [G]drags on and on
And then there's never [D]enough
That's when the sun starts [G]coming up
Do[G7]n't let go of her [C]hand
You just [G]mig[C]ht be the right man
She[D] loves the n[C]ight, sh[D]e loves the[C] night
Doesn't want it to[G] end.
