Tonight Is The Night Chords by Betty Wright

_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [D] So I would like to say thank you. _
[Em] And we're so pleased [Bm] to be here.
So many of you could come out and share
in all the [Em] love
and all the happiness [D] we have in store for you.
[Dm] We want you to have a [Em] real
good time.
Because [D] that's just
what we have in mind.
Is that
alright with [G] you?
_ _ _ [D] This is a tune that I [G] composed
and it's called [D] Tonight _
_ [Bm] is the [D] night
that you make me a woman.
[G] Now, I never
[D] intended recording this [Bm] song.
It was a personal
[D] point.
That is until the
day that my producer [G] happened to
thumb through the pages of my [D] notebook.
He came across the [Bm] words and he
said, you gotta do [D] something with these
words.
It's happening every
day [Em] and people want to hear about it.
You [D] see, _
[Em] it's the story
[D] of a young girl _
making [G] love
for the very
[D] first time. _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _ We got a melody.
[G] _ I took it home and [B] I
gotta _
_ [G] _ _ [D] tell you a little bit about my mother.
[F#] You see, I come from one [G] of
those pretty large [D] families and I'm the baby
of the family.
And you know, you [Em] never
grow up to your mother.
[D] _ _ I'm gonna forget
the way she [Em] looked at me when I played it.
Boy, she said, [D] uh, I like [F#m] the [Em] music.
_ [D] You know, baby, the melody
is [G] really nice.
But I'm
not gonna sing that [D] song. _
So he [Em] eased it right on by her.
Yes, [D] he did.
And it became one of my biggest records, [E] too.
[Bm] I want you to do this for me
[D] if _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
to [G] your
_ very [D] first
time.
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ Some of you act [Em] a little bit
further than others.
_ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ Now, [Em] whether it was good
[D] or you just smiled
and it was [G] good.
_ [Em] _ [D] If it was not so [Bm] good.
Here's my [D] story. _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ Tonight is the [Em] night that [D] you make me [Em] your [G] woman.
_ _ [D] You said [G] you'd get your own way.
[D] And I _ [G] hope you will.
_ _ [D] _ I'm nervous [Em] and trembling
[D] _ _
waiting for [G] you to walk [D] in. _
I'm trying [B] hard to relax,
[D] [G] but I _ [F#m] just can't keep [G] still.
I [D] _ _ _
[Em] hear your car door [D] slamming.
_ Don't play, big girl,
[Em] that put on a sexy [D] smile.
But I know [G] so little
about what [D] love is.
I just [G] can't help
acting like a child.
[D] I _ can't open [Em] my door
and you're ringing my [D] bell. _
Hope you're not [Em] impatient
after waiting so [D] very long.
Oh, [G] yeah,
I put you up with my silly [D] hang-ups.
And we're both
[G] old enough to know right from [D] wrong. _
[F#m] Tonight [G] is the night
[D] that you _ make me your [G] woman.
_ _ [D] _ You said [Em] you'd get your [G] own [D] way.
And I hope [G] you will.
_ _ _ [D] I'm [Em] nervous [D] and trembling _ _
waiting [G] for you to walk [Bm] in. _
I'm trying hard to relax,
but [Em] I [F#m] just can't keep still.
[G] I'm _ [D] just living _ _ [Em] in my [D] dreams.
_ [F#m] _
_ [Em] Oh, _ _ [D] baby, [F#m] _
_ [Em] oh, _ _ [D] yeah.
[F#m] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
I'm [Em] not sick of [D] the murders. _ _
[G] They're just doing what we are doing.
[D] _ _
Not [G] only will I never live it down,
[D] but my whole family [Em] relationship,
it'll all be ruined.
[F#m] _ _
But [G] we've gone a little bit too far now
[F#m] to _
_ [G] _ turn around.
[D] _ So let's just [Em] pray
_ [D] that true love is [F#m] what we [G] find.
_ [D] Tonight, _ _ tonight, [G] _ _ _ [D] tonight, _
_ [Em] tonight.
_ [F#m] Oh, I'll never forget [A] [Bm] tonight.
No, [D] no, I'll [A] never forget.
[G] _ _ That's [D] when you made me feel [G] real.
_ [D] You made me feel [G] _ real.
[D] Ooh, _ ooh, ooh, [Em] ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
[G] _ [F#m] Oh, oh, oh, [Em] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
[F#m] Yeah, and I wanna thank you, love.
[Em] Said I gotta thank you, love.
Cause you [F#m] made me feel good.
And I [G] love you, baby.
_ [F#m] I love you and I know it.
[Em] And I hate to [G] not show it.
[F#m] Cause I love you, baby.
[G] And I need you, baby.
[D] I want you, my love, my [G] love, my, my, my, [D] baby.
I'll never forget tonight.
No, [Em] I'll never forget tonight.
Cause you [F#m] made me feel good.
And I [Em] love you, baby.
You [F#m] made me feel real [G] good.
And I love you, baby.
Cause you gave [A] me pure _
_ [Em] love.
Yeah, _ [A] _ _ [D]
pure [Em] love.
Said I like that, baby.
[A] _ _ [D] _
[Em] Pure love.
Said I didn't have to [A] go. _ _

There's nothing phony [A] about it.

And I know [Em] I hate to not show it.
