GOING OUT TONIGHT (Mary Chapin Carpenter & John Jennings)
---------------------------------------------------------
[Actually in F; capo 5.]
[Each chord is about half a measure.]
[The rhythm is an important part of this song; I`d write it down, but
I think it`s pretty easy to figure out from listening to the recording.
C is 332010, and C(9) is 330010.]
C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9)
[intro]
C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9)
I`m going out tonight to find myself a friend
C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9)
I need a welcome smile and the grasp of an open hand
F F Am Am F F Am Am
Gonna sit for hours in a small dark place, catch up with a long lost face
C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9)
And talk about how long it`s really been
I`m going out tonight with perfume on my wrist
I`m need to find someone to show me what I`ve missed
And when I see that someone sittin` there, gonna tell your memory I don`t care
If he offers something more than just a kiss
G G Em F F F F F
Underneath the moon so bright, I wanna fall tonight
G G G F
Beneath a spell
G G Em F F F F F
Underneath the sky so clear, I wanna find someone waiting there
G G G G
Who used to know me well
I`m going out tonight without a chaperone
I`m gonna leave that meddling heart of mine at home
`Cause it don`t like crowds or closing time, neon blues or pickup lines
It makes me spend my Friday nights alone
Underneath the moon so bright [first guitar solo]
Underneath the sky so clear [second guitar solo]
I`m gonna tell myself that someone I adore
Is the one I`m with, ain`t that what friends are for
`Cause my empty arms are open wide; I`m long on spite, and short on pride
And the old way isn`t working anymore
C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C.
I`m going out tonight to find myself a friend
