The Night Owls chords by Little River Band

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:

Am
There’s a bar right across the street

Em
He’s got a need he just can’t beat

Am            D           Em
Out on the floor, he shuffles his feet away

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

Em
He’s gonna win her every time

Am           D           Em
He knows he will, he’s dressed to kill, he’s a night owl

Chorus

C                    Em
So move on, there’s a howl of a night owl calling

C                     Em
To belong, she’s crying in the night

C                    Em
Be strong, find the heart of the night owl falling

C         B         Em
Stay up till dawn until the night is gone

Verse 2

Am
What will become of the restless kind

Em
Where do they go when they’ve done their time

Am                    D  Em
Wearing their hearts out on the line for all to see

Am
Must be the gypsy in their soul

Em
They have a need to rock and roll

Am            D        Em
They always will, they’re out there still, they’re the night owls


Chorus

C                Em
So move on, there’s a howl of a night owl calling

C                Em
To belong, she’s crying in the night

C                Em
Be strong, find the heart of the night owl falling

C         B     Em
Stay up till dawn until the night is gone (‘till the night is gone) guitar solo..
