Start Jamming...
[Bb]
Sylvia was working as [Eb] a waitress in [Bb] Beaumont.
She said, I'm moving away.
I'm going to get what [F] I want.
[Bb] I'm tired of these small town boys.
[Eb] They don't move fast [Bb] enough.
I'm going to find me one who wears a leather jacket
[F] and likes his [Bb] living rough.
So she saved her tits in overtime
and [Eb] bought an old rusty car.
[Bb] She sold most everything she had
to make a brand [F] new start.
She [Bb] said, I won't be needing these [Eb] silly dresses
and nylon hoes.
Cause [Bb] when I get to where I'm going,
I'm [F] going to buy me all new [Bb] clothes.
Not [Eb] too long, it just [Bb] drags on and on.
And then there's never [F] enough.
That's when the sun [Bb] starts coming up.
[Eb] Up ahead,
[F] you just might [Bb] be the [Eb] right man.
[F] She loves [Eb] the night.
[Cm] [Bb] [F] She loves [Cm] the [Gm] [Cm] night.
[Bb] [F] She doesn't want [Eb] the night.
Don't want it [Bb] to end.
Don't want it to end.
[Eb] [Bb] Well, she works in an office now.
[Eb] And she guesses the pay's all right.
[Bb] She can buy a few new things to wear
and still go out [F] at night.
[Bb] And as soon as she gets home from work,
she [Eb] wants to be out with the crowd.
[Bb] For she can dance and toss her head back
[F] and laugh [Bb] out loud.
Well, the music's playing fast.
[Eb] And they just met.
[Bb]
He presses up against her.
And his shirt's all soaked [F] with sweat.
[Cm] And [Bb] with her back against the bar,
[Eb] she can listen to the band.
And [Bb] she's holding a Corona.
And [F] it's cold against [Bb] her hand.
Not [Eb] too long.
It just [Bb] drags on and on.
And then there's never [F] enough.
That's when the sun [Bb] starts coming up.
Don't let go [Eb] of her hand.
[F] You just might [Bb] be the [Eb]
right man.
[F] She loves [Eb] the night.
[Cm] [Bb] [F] She loves [Eb] the night.
[Cm] [Bb] [F] She doesn't want [Eb] the night.
Don't [Bb] want it to rain.
[Eb] Don't want it [Bb] to rain.
Don't want it to rain.
