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.

[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

So you’re sitt
