Night Owl by Gerry Rafferty
-Capo 3rd fret
This is the best I can figure and it sounds to me about right even though the D
maj shouldn’t normally be in a C key. feel free to correct anything
C G D
Night time comes and finds you alone
Am
In a space and time of your own
Em Bm C
Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows
C G D
Down the street the neon light shines
Am
Offering refuge and hope to the blind
Em Bm C
You stumble in with no thought of tomorrow
G D C
Yes I get lonely when the sun gets low
G D C
And I end up looking for somewhere to go
G D
Yes I should know better but I cant say no
Am Bm C* third fret barre
Oh no no nono nono no

G D
The lights are low and the music is loud
Am
You watch yourself as you play to the crowd
Em Bm C
One more face in a palace of mirrors
G D
One more drink your sailing away
Am Em
One more dream but its looking okay
C Bm C
One more time to watch the flow of the river
Yes I get lonely when the sun gets low
And I end up looking for somewhere to go
Yes I should know better but I cant say no
Oh no no nono no no no no no no
Yes I get lonely when the sun gets low
And I end up looking for somewhere to go
Yes I should know better but I cant say no
Oh no no
Oh no no no
No no no no no no no no no no

You live your life like there was no more tomorrow

In a space and time of your own
