The Little River Band - Night Owls

I’ve heard this both played fast with electric guitars and slow in
a wonderful bluesy way – and both sound great! It can be found
on ‘Greatest Hits’ and ‘Streams of success’.

I searched everywhere for a tab for this but couldn’t find one
anywhere…. so I listened hard and set about creating my own.
This is what I hear – but it’s my first attempt and no doubt with
mistakes, so please send me suggestions for improvements if
you know better!

Verse:

A minorAm
There’s a bar right across the street

E minorEm
He’s got a need he just can’t beat

A minorAm            D MajorD           E minorEm
Out on the floor, he shuffles his feet away

A minorAm
He’ll get the girl ‘cause he looks so fine

E minorEm
He’s gonna win her every time

A minorAm           D MajorD           E minorEm
He knows he will, he’s dressed to kill, he’s a night owl

Chorus

C majorC                    E minorEm
So move on, there’s a howl of a night owl calling

C majorC                     E minorEm
To belong, she’s crying in the night

C majorC                    E minorEm
Be strong, find the heart of the night owl falling

C majorC         BB         E minorEm
Stay up till dawn until the night is gone

Verse 2

A minorAm
What will become of the restless kind

E minorEm
Where do they go when they’ve done their time

A minorAm                    D MajorD  E minorEm
Wearing their hearts out on the line for all to see

A minorAm
Must be the gypsy in their soul

E minorEm
They have a need to rock and roll

A minorAm            D MajorD        E minorEm
They always will, they’re out there still, they’re the night owls

Chorus

C majorC                E minorEm
So move on, there’s a howl of a night owl calling

C majorC                E minorEm
To belong, she’s crying in the night

C majorC                E minorEm
Be strong, find the heart of the night owl falling

C majorC         BB     E minorEm
Stay up till dawn until the night is gone (‘till the night is gone) guitar solo..
