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 half-step.
AFTERHOURS
(1,2,3)
If you [C]close the [A7]door
The [Dm]night could last for[G]ever
Leave the [C]sunshine [A7]out
And [Dm]say hello to ne[G]ver
All the [C]people are talking and they're [C7]having such fun
I [F]wish this could happen to [Fm]me
But if you [C]close the [A7]door
I'll [Dm]never have to [G]see the day a[C]gain
But if you [C]close the [A7]door
The [Dm]night could last for[G]ever
Leave the [C]wine glass [A7]out
And [Dm]drink a toast to [G]never
[C]Someday I know someone will [C7]look into my eyes
And say hel[F]lo
You're my very special [Fm]one
But if you [C]close the [A7]door
Dm G C (Bass line to bridge: C-B-Bb)
I'll never have to see the day again
Bridge:
[Am]Dark party [E7]bars, shiny [Am]Cadillac [E7]cars
And [Am]people on [E7]subways and [Am]trains[Am-G#-G]
Looking [Dm]grey in the [A7]rain as they [Dm]stand disar[A7]rayed
Oh but[F] people look well in the[G] dark
If you [C]close the [A7]door
The [Dm]night could last for[G]ever
Leave the [C]sunshine [A7]out
And [Dm]say hello to [G]never
[C]Someday I know someone will [C7]look into my eyes
And say [F]hello
You're my very special [Fm]one
But if you [C]close the [A7]door
I'll [Dm]never have to [G]see the day [C]again[A7]
I'll[Dm] never have to[G] see the day[C] again ([A7]once more)
I'll [Dm]never have to [G]see the day [C]again
[Am] [E7]
