Nighttime Tab

by Big Star


great song from "Sister Lovers". this song is probably easier to fingerpick. it's a 
more than straight chords at work here. this is going to be messy but so am i.


throughout the verse you're going to play a G Am7 progression which goes like this. 
to the recording for the exact rhythm.

       
---3----3--|    throw in a little strumming at the end of each interval.
---0----1--|
---0----0--|    voice the G with your ring on the the low E and pinky on the
------0h2--|    high E.
-----------|
-3---------|

Intro

i--2--  play around on the high E. move it up to 3 once or twice.
m--3--
x--0--  i'm not sure if this chord is right, but it sounds close enough.
r--4--
p--5--

Verse

                            
At nightime I go out and see the people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way
///////////////////////////////////////////////////

The chorus has a fingerpicking pattern. i don't know exactly how alex plays, so i won't 
it. you can come up with something yourself. Dsus4 is D with your pinky on 3 on the E 
and Cmaj7 is C with an open B string.

Chorus
                         
And dressing so sweet, all the people to see
                                             
They're looking at me, all the people to see.

Verse

  pattern
And when I set my eyes on you
You look like a kitty
And when you're in the moon
Oh you look so pretty

Chorus
         
Caught a glance in your eyes
    
And fell through the skies

Glance in your eyes
                           
And fell through the skies

Interlude
                

Verse
  Pattern
I'm walking down the freezing street
Scarf goes out behind
You said, "Get them away"
Please don't say a word

Chorus
        
"Get me out of here
       
Get me out of here
  
I hate it here
                    
Get me out of here"

Verse
  pattern
At nightime I go out and see the people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way

Chorus
                        
Glanced in your eyes and fell through the skies
                                            
Dance in your eyes and fell through the skies
