Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: NIGHT LIFE (Willie Nelson)
I sing the Willie Nelson version......I don't know if others used different lyrics. I haven't gone back to the original for awhile, so hopefully these lyrics and chords are correct.
NIGHT LIFE. (Willie Nelson, Walter Breeland & Paul Buskirk
C C7 When the evenin' sun goes down, F Ab You will find me hangin' 'round; C A7 D G Oh, the night life, ain't a good life, C A7 Dm7 G7 But it's my life.
C C7 Many people just like me F Ab Dreamin' of old used-to-be's; C A D G and the night life, ain't a good life, C F Fm C But it's my life.
Bridge: C C7 (4bar guitar riff) Listen to the blues they're playin' F Fm C G7 Listen to what the blues are sayin' C C7 Mine is just another scene F Ab From the world of broken dreams C A7 D G Oh, the night life, ain't no good life C F Fm C G7 But it's my life
