A corrected version of TheBigLebowski's tab, I believe it is now 100% correct.


Brian will sometimes switch between using open and barred chords during the 
verses, but the Chorus/Intro are almost always open.


                     
We're having a party, everybody's swinging

Tonight won't you come down out of your tower,
                             
Don't make me dance all night alone (Alright!).

Call up your girlfriends to come out tonight,

I'll call up my best friends to come out tonight

We'll put on our best shirts, our finest cologne
                            
And we'll turn the Casanova on.

Come on out Maria and lose the tragic.

Come on out Maria and we'll show you some magic.

Meet on the warm sand and waltz out the twilight,
                         
and watch the carnival lights explode.

                      
We're having a party, everybody's swinging

Tonight won't you come down out of your tower,
                              
Don't make me dance all night alone.



I've seen you from the window around,

I can't get your perfume memory out.
 
So come on before we get much older,
                               
and that can happen any one of these nights.

So before we turn to ghosts on the mist on the sand,

or fall in line for more conducive plans,

See, I never took a shot to the higher minds,
                                 
but I can hold the soft waltz down.



The bridge uses  (x799xx), (x577xx), and (x355xx)

                                 
Meet me tonight, let's see what can happen.


Same Chorus Chords:

We're having a party, everybody's swinging
Tonight won't you come down out of your tower,
Don't make me dance all night alone.


We're having a party, everybody's swinging
Tonight won't you come down out of your tower,
Don't make me dance all night alone.
Everybody's shaking like the end of the world,
Because everybody's waiting on the end of the world,
I ain't got a friend, Baby, left in the world,
Don't make me dance all night alone...
