---------> verse


The only chord for the verse is D7 really. at the end of each line, play an improv on
d chord,
particularly after "he used to pick up my guitar" - live, neil extends this into a solo
mid-verse.

You can play the D7 chord like this:

e|----|                        e|----|
B|----|                        B|-1--|
G|-2--|                        G|-2--|
D|-0--|           OR           D|-0--|
A|-3--|                        A|-0--|
C|-2--|                        C|-2--|



... with fills like these - both sound good:

e|--------------------------|                   e|--0--0-------------|
B|--------------------------|                   B|--1--1----1--3-----|
G|--------------------------|                   G|--2--2----2--2-----|
D|--------------------------|      OR maybe     D|--0-------0--0-----|
A|--------------------------|                   A|--0----------0-----|
C|--/7-7--9--/7--7--5--0--2-|                   C|--2----------2-----|


Listen to the recording to get a feel. I think this could be performed live just with
one
guitar, as the song is quite sparse and slow. Make it your own!


Here are the chords, just to help:


[D]Tonight's the [C]night, [D]tonight's the [C]night,
[D]tonight's the [C]night, [D]tonight's the [C]night,
[D7]Bruce Berry was a workin' man;
[D7]He used to load that Econoline Van.
[D7]A sparkle was in his eyes,
[D7]but his life was in his hand.
[D7]Well late at night when the people were gone
[D7]he used to pick up my guitar
[D7]and sing a song in a shaky voice
[D7]that was real as the day was long.
[D]Tonight's the [C]night, [D]tonight's the [C]night,
[D]tonight's the [C]night, [D]tonight's the [C]night,
A couple of other verses follow, with same chords.


| / slide up
| slide down
| h hammer-on
| p pull-off
| ~ vibrato
| + harmonic
| x Mute note
