Em
As you brush your shoes
                     G   (G6)
And stand before the mirror
                  Em
And you comb your hair
                       G  (G6)
And grab your coat and hat
        Em
And you walk, wet streets
            G  (G6)
Tryin' to remember
        C
All the wild night breezes
D              G
In your mem'ry ever

         Em                 C
And ev'rything looks so complete
            Em                
When you're walkin' out on the 
 C
street
        Em                C
And the wind catches your feet
              D
And sends you flyin', cryin'

Em
Oooooooooooooo - wee
         D        G
The wild night is calling, alright
Em
Oooooooooooooo - wee
         D        G
The wild night is calling.


And all the girls walk by
Dressed up for each other
And the boys do the boobie-woogie
On the corner of the street
And the people passin' by
Just stare in wild wonder
And inside the juke-box
Roars out just like thunder.

Ooooh - wee
Continues after the ad

The wild night is calling
The wild night is calling
Come on out and dance
Come on out and make romance...

All the girls walk by, dressed up

And the people passin' by stare in 
wide wonder
And the inside jukebox blows out 
just like thunder

REPEAT BRIDGE


Em: 0 2 2 0 0 0  Em(VII): 7 7 9 9 8 7   

G/C: 3 x 2 0 1 3


NOTE: Listen to the record to get a 
better idea.  I lamely tried to show
how one can use G and G/C to a 
rhythm much like a blues choogle.

I know this isn't really a guitar 
type song, but it sounds okay I 
think

     As you brush your shoes
                          D
     And stand before the mirror
             Bm
     And you comb your hair
                            D
     And grab your coat and hat
             Bm
