Little River Band – The Night Owls chords

(The) Little River Band - (The) Night Owl
 
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                      EmOut on the floor, he shuffles his feet away

AmHe’ll get the girl ‘cause he looks so fine

EmHe’s gonna win her every time

Am                            B                             EmHe knows he will, he’s dressed to kill, he’s a night owl

Chorus

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

C                                          EmTo belong, she’s crying in the night

C                                            EmBe 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      EmWearing their hearts out on the line for all to see

AmMust be the gypsy in their soul

EmThey have a need to rock and roll

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


Chorus

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

C                                          EmTo belong, she’s crying in the night

C                                            EmBe 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..
