Lyrics:
[A]The night she [E]is a true com[F#m]panion
[D]They shuffle [B]in
[D]They hear the [E]sound
[A]But by night's [E]end
It's night's a[F#m]bandon
[D]You look across the f[B]loor
[D]Ain't anyone a[E]round
[D]Closing [E]time
[A]Unp[E]lug them [F#m]people
[D]And send them [E]home
It's closing t[A]ime
[A]Now Kenny he's been [E]mixing sound all e[F#m]vening
[D]Sometimes I [B]think that boy
[D]He ain't got no [E]ears
[A]And Kathy's lau[E]ghing
[F#m]Kathy's always laughing
[D]Well keep on l[B]aughing Kathy
[D]Just make it out of [E]here
[D]Closing t[E]ime
[A]Unpl[E]ug them pe[F#m]ople
[D]And send them h[E]ome
It's closing t[A]ime
[A]So stack those c[E]hairs upon those t[Fm#]ables
[D]And stack those e[B]mpties up[D]on that [E]bar
[A]And count your mo[E]ney
[F#m]And count my money
[D]And hear those [B]bottles ringing
[D]You know where you [E]are
[D]Closing t[E]ime
[A]Unp[E]lug them p[F#m]eople
[D]And send them [E]home
It's closing t[A]ime
[D]The night's all that's [E]left behind
[A]You take [E]your part and [F#m]I'll take mine
[D]And go on [E]home
It's closing [A]time
