Chord/Tab song: Going Out Tonight

GOING OUT TONIGHT (Mary Chapin Carpenter & John Jennings)

---------------------------------------------------------

[Actually in F; capo 5.]
[Each chord is about half a measure.]
[The rhythm is an important part of this song; I'd write it down, but
I think it's pretty easy to figure out from listening to the recording.
C is 332010, and C(9) is 330010.]

[C][in[C(9)]tro][C][C(9)][C][C(9)][C][C(9)]

I'm going [C]out ton[C(9)]ight to f[C]ind mys[C(9)]elf a fri[C]end[C(9)][C][C(9)]
I need a [C]welcome sm[C(9)]ile and the [C]grasp of [C(9)]an open hand[C][C(9)][C][C(9)]
Gonna [F]sit for h[F]ours in a [Am]small dark [Am]place,[F] catch up [F]with a l[Am]ong lost f[Am]ace
[C] And talk a[C(9)]bout how l[C]ong it's [C(9)]really be[C]en[C(9)][C][C(9)]

I'm going out tonight with perfume on my wrist
I'm need to find someone to show me what I've missed
And when I see that someone sittin' there, gonna tell your memory I don't care
If he offers something more than just a kiss

[G] Under[G]neath the m[Em]oon so[F] bright,[F] I wanna [F]fall[F] ton[F]ight
Be[G]neath a sp[G]ell[G][F]
[G] Under[G]neath the s[Em]ky so[F] clear[F], I wanna [F]find someo[F]ne waiting [F]there
Who used to [G]know me w[G]ell[G][G]

I'm going out tonight without a chaperone
I'm gonna leave that meddling heart of mine at home
'Cause it don't like crowds or closing time, neon blues or pickup lines
It makes me spend my Friday nights alone

Underneath the moon so bright [first guitar solo]
Underneath the sky so clear [second guitar solo]

I'm gonna tell myself that someone I adore
Is the one I'm with, ain't that what friends are for
'Cause my empty arms are open wide; I'm long on spite, and short on pride
And the old way isn't working anymore

C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C.
I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend
