Dm    = x57765   F    = 133211   Em7    = 022030   A7  = x02020
Dm7   = x57565  (F/G) = 3xxxxx   Fmaj7  = 133210   Fm6 = 133131
Asus2 = x02200  (F/A) = x0xxxx   G6     = 320000 
Am    = x02210   G    = 355433   Gm6/Bb = x10030

The reggae guitar plays straight Dm and Am in the intro and
verses, but I've added some extra chords, suggested by the full
arrangement, to add interest for one guitar.

[Intro]
   Dm            Dm7            Asus2           Am

[Verse 1]
          Dm                         Am           Asus2  Am
When the night comes, that's when I think of you,
          Dm                  Am            Asus2  Am
When the night comes, I get midnight blue,
F          (F/G)(F/A) G   F                (F/G)(F/A) G
   But what can   I  say  ...when the night comes to stay?


[Chorus 1]
          Em7               Fmaj7      G6
When the night comes, and everybody's gone,
          Em7            Fmaj7              G6
When the night comes, and I'm here all a - lone,
          Em7
When the night comes,
Gm6/Bb         A7                 Dm      Dm7   Fm6    G
       Every night that's when I think of you------!


[Verse 2]
Dm                                 Am               Asus2  Am
    Now's the time ...I see the twilight coming on,
           Dm                               Am      Asus2  Am
Now's the time, pretty soon they'll all be gone,
F           (F/G)(F/A) G   F                (F/G) (F/A) G
   But where will  I   be  ...when the night comes  to  me!


[Chorus 2]
          Em7               Fmaj7      G6
When the night comes, and everybody's gone,
          Em7                 Fmaj7         G6
When the night comes, and I'm here all a - lone,
          Em7
When the night comes,
Gm6/Bb         A7                 Dm      Dm7   Fm6    G
       Every night that's when I think of you------!

F          (F/G)(F/A) G   F                (F/G)(F/A) G
   But what can   I  say  ...when the night comes to stay?
