After Hours - The Velvet Underground
Tuning: , D G C F A D
This is a great VU song, sung by Mo Tucker and covered I understand by
REM. Play this on an acoustic and drop the tuning a full step.
[Chorus]
(1,2,3)
If you close t
he door
The night coul
d last forever
Leave the suns
hine out
And say hello
to never
[Verse 1]
All the people
are dancing a
nd they're hav
ing such fun
I wish it coul
d happen to me
But if you clo
se the door
I'd never have
to see the da
y again
[Chorus]
If you close t
he door
The night coul
d last forever
Leave the wine
glass out
And drink a to
ast to never
[Verse 2]
Oh, someday I
know someone w
ill look into
my eyes
And say hello
You're my very
special one
But if you clo
se the door
I'd never have
to see the da
( - -
y again
[Bridge]
Dark party bar
s, shiny Cadil
lac cars
And the people
on subways an
d trains
Looking gray i
n the rain as
they stand dis
arrayed
Oh but people
look well in t
he dark
[Chorus]
And if you clo
se the door
The night coul
d last forever
Leave the suns
hine out
And say hello
to never
[Verse 3]
All the people
are dancing a
nd they're hav
ing such fun
I wish it coul
d happen to me
Cause if you c
lose the door
I'd never have
to see the da
y again
I'd never have
to see the da
y again (once
more)
I'd never have
to see the da
y again
