Fill In
Just for those of you too lazy to work out the fill ins for yourself... while its
to play it around the 2nd fret(as i've tabbed it),
i myself think it sounds much nicer on the 3rd string, around the 6-9th frets; its got a
sound.

Chorus
[Chords]
[Intro]
[Verse 1] - , +7, , (low),
Oh the wind wh
istles down
The cold dark
street tonight
And the people
they were dan
cing to the mu
sic vibe
And the boys c
hase the girls
With the curls
in their hair
While the shy
tormented yout
h sit way over
there
And the songs
they get loude
r
Each one bette
r than before
[Chorus]
And you’re sin
ging the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake u
p in the morni
ng and your he
ad feels twice
the size
Where you gonn
a go
Where you gonna go
Where you gonn
a sleep tonigh
t
And you’re sin
ging the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake u
p in the morni
ng and your he
ad feels twice
the size
Where you gonn
a go
Where you gonna go
Where you gonn
a sleep tonigh
t
[Bridge]
[Verse 2]
So you’re head
ing down the r
oad
In your taxi for four
And you’re wai
ting outside J
immy’s front d
oor
But nobody’s i
n and nobody’s
home ‘til fou
r
So you’re sitt
ing there with
nothing to do
Talking about
Robert Riger a
nd his motley
crew
And where you’
re gonna go an
d where you’re
gonna sleep t
onight
