Tom: E E Friday evening, slipping on the ice E A Looking for adventure in the pale moonlight E I had a Coca-cola at the high school gym E A E But the girls wouldn't dance where the lights were dim E So, there were three or four big shots headin' downtown E A Cursin' up a storm and fallin' on the ground E D Got to the cafe, everybody gone A D E 'Cause the band was playing and the dance was on [Chorus] D And the Nighthawks were playin' A E We were feelin' right out of it D A They were really playin' B A B It was a brand new song about spending the night together NC E And we were colder than ever [Verse 2] E Dale's big brother wandered out of the hall E A Sayin', "Home you little buggers, you're breakin' the law" E Then he took us to the alley and he gave us each a beer E A E And we heard about the women that were easy 'round here E Me, I had a cigarette, couldn't find a light E A We shivered in our parkas by the blue street light E D Lookin' at the door, we all tried a grin A D E As we counted up our change but we couldn't get in [Chorus] D And the Nighthawks were playin' A E We were feelin' right out of it D A They were really playin' B A B It was a brand new song about spending the night together NC E And we were colder than ever [Verse 3] E I was headin' out, Eddie said, "Don't go E A Remember the guy my mother's boyfriend knows? E Well, we got a little money, it should be enough E A E And it sure beats holdin' this power pole up E So the bootlegger came and his nose did shine E A We gave him all our money for a bottle of wine E D We waited in the alley, but he never returned A D E And the older kids chuckled while our faces burned [Chorus] D And the Nighthawks were playin' A E We were feelin' right out of it D A They were really playin' B A B It was a brand new song about spending the night together NC E And we were colder than ever
