Prom Night

Intro: C Am Dm G7 x4

Verse 1:
C                    Am          
Two mid-night lovers dance on the
                    Dm             
 prom room floor at old 
  G7
Northwestern High.
C                    Am          
They stare into each other's 
      Dm         G7
eyes. He smiles. She sighs.
C                        Am      
Her name is Mary; his is Billy 
           Dm             G7
and they say tonight is the night.
C                                 
They're going to take his old 
  Am          Dm                  
Chevy up to Lilly Mountain and 
            G7
camp out there all night.

Verse 2:
C                                  
Back on the dance floor Billy pulls
Am              Dm               
 Mary close and whispers in her 
                     G7
ear, "Hey, baby, lets
get out of here."
C                        Am      
She pulls away and looks deep 
                          Dm     
into his eyes. She bites her lip. 
         G7
She says, "Billy,
tonight you're all mine."

They break out the back door in 
   Dm              G7
the darkness of the room.
C                 Am        
They run over and climb in his 
                    Dm
truck. They stop stare.
             G7
Billy says, "Mary, we'll be there 
soon."

Bridge:
          Dm                  
When they hit the freeway Mary 
        Am
starts taking off her dress.
      Dm                           
Billy sees her out of the corner of
     Am
 his eye.
Dm                Am             
He looks over and starts to 
      Dm                           
caress her leg and moves his hand 
 Am
up her thigh.
Dm                               
She closes her eyes and breathes 
Am            Dm                 
deep as these thoughts race 
       Am
through her mind.
Dm                      Am       
She grips the seat. Her face 
                  Dm    G
turns deep red as the blood rushes 
to her head.

Verse 4:
C                  Am             
Now back up on old Lilly they lay 
Dm              G7
together in the back bed.
C                    Am          
Billy looks over and grabs her 
                  Dm               
hand and whispers, "Mary, make me a
  G7
 man."
C                           Am   
                  Dm
     G7
She opens her eyes and sits up. She 
leans over and kisses him on the 
cheek. Says,
"Billy, you make me so weak."
C                   Am           
                   Dm              
           G7
                 C
As they lay together in the 
moonlight they both surrender to 
temptation in the darkness
of that warm prom night.
