(BMI 1065142)
Written by Willie Nelson, W. Breeland, P. Buskirk
Published by Glad Music Co, and Sony ATV Song Tree Inc.
Performed by Ray Price (Decca Records)
The original has an excellent steel guitar part by
Grady Martin, but you can also do a great job with a
6-string. Just let those blues riffs rip...
Instrumental Intro
[D] [Bm] [Emaj7] [A] [A7] [D]
1. [D]When the evenin' sun goes [Bm]down
[G]You will find me hangin' '[F]round
[D]The night life [Bm]ain't [Emaj7]no good [A]life[A7]
But it's [D]my life! [Bm][Emaj7][A7]
2. Many people just like me,
Dreamin' of old used-to-be.
The night life ain't no good life,
But it's my life!
Bridge:
[D]Listen to the blues, they're [D7]playin'
[G7]Listen to what the [A7]blues are [D7]sayin'[Emaj7][A][A7]
3. Mine is just another scene,
From the world of broken dreams.
The night life ain't no good life,
But it's my life!
Instrumental break
Repeat 3.
Tag:
Oh, the [D]night [Bm]life ain't no [Emaj7]good life,[A7]
[A7] [D] [G] [A7] [D]
^ good place for
adding color chords,
to your own taste...
