Talking Back to the Night Key of G-minor. Time signature 4/4.

Eb6/9 Gm7 Gm11 Ebmaj7 Eb6/9 Gm7 Gm11 Ebmaj7


High above the heat of a summer New York street,

Eb6/9 Gm7 Gm11 Ebmaj7 Eb6/9 Gm7 Gm11


An out-of-work musician plays a solo saxophone

Dsus4 Cm7(addF) C13


He's a preacher and a teacher, and he stands there all alone

Stranded in the dark of a vision in the park,


A poet in his madness tries to find another line
And he's losing and he's using, and he says he's doing fine

Dm7 C Dm7 Ebmaj7


And they look from such a height that somehow it's all right
C Dm C/D Gm7
They're talking back to the night, it's all that they can do
C/G Dm C/D Gm7 F
Talking back to the night, it's how they make it through
C Bb/F Gm F/A Bb
If you listen you can hear them, their voices draw you near them
D7sus4 Gm7 Gm11 Ebmaj7
They're talking back to the night for you

Something seems to take every dime the man can make


His dream is getting smaller and he wonders where to turn
And he's trying hard to make it, and he's trying not to burn
Woman never minds, pulls the shade and draws the blinds
She takes him in the darkness where the loneliest can feed
And she gives him all she has to and it's no more than he needs
(refrain) (repeat first 3 lines of refrain)
Talking back to the night, talking back to the night ...
Feelin' Alright
C7 F7
Seems I got to have a change of scene
C7 F7
Cause every night I have the strangest dreams
C7 F7
Imprisoned by the way it could've been
C7 F7
Left here on my own or so it seems
C7 F7
I got to leave before I start to scream
C7 F7
But someone's locked the door and took the key
C7 F7 C7 F7
Feelin' alright Not feelin' too good myself
C7 F7 C7 F7
Feelin' alright Not feelin' too good myself
Boy you sure took me for one big ride Even now I sit and wonder why
And when I think of you I start to cryI just can't waste the time I must keep dry
Got to stop believin' in all your lies Cause I got to much to do before I die
Don't get too lost in all I say If half the time I really felt that way
That was then and now it's today Can't get off yet and so I'm here to stay
Before someone comes along and takes my place
With a different name and yes a different face
When a Man Loves a Woman
Intro: C G/B Am C/G F G7 C G

C G/B Am C/G
When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothin' else
F G7 C G
He'd change the world for the good things he's found
C G/B Am C/G
If she's bad, he can't see it, she can do no wrong,
F G7 C G
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down
When a man loves a woman, spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all of his comforts and sleep out in the rain
C C7
If she says that's the way it ought to be
F C
Well this man loves you, woman
F C
Give you everything I can
F C G/B Am
Trying to hold on to your high class love
D7 G
Baby, please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman, deep down in his soul,
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
When a man loves a woman, she can do no wrong,
She can never look another man
When a man loves a woman, hey hey, I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, you are my girl when a man loves a woman

"Shakin' All Over"


When you move in right up close to me That's when I get the shivers all over me
Shivers down my backbone I get the shakes in the thighbone
Shivers in my knee bone Shakin' all over

Just the way you say goodnight to me There's a feeling on the side of me
Shivers down my backbone I got the shakes in my thighbone
Shivers in my kneebone Shakin' all over

Just the way you say goodnight to me Brings a feeling I'm inside of me
Shivers down my backbone I've got the shakes in my thighbone
Oh shivers in my knee bone
I'm shakin' all over I'm shakin' all over I'm shakin' all over

When you're moving right up close to me


That's when I get the shivers all over me
Just the way you say goodnight to me
Brings a feeling outside of me
I'm shakin' all over
I'm shakin' all over
I'm shakin' all over
LIGHT MY FIRE - VERSE 1

The time to hesitate is through There's no time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose As our love becomes a funeral pyre CHORUS

I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
I have climbed the highest mountains
D
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
G
Only to be with you
D
I have run I have crawled
D
I have scaled these city walls
G
Only to be with you
D
But I still haven't found
A G
What I'm looking for
D
But I still haven't found What I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in her fingertips


It burned like fire This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found What I'm looking for

I believe in the Kingdom Come Then all the colors will bleed into one
But yes I'm still running. You broke the bonds
You loosened the chains You carried the cross
And my shame And my shame You know I believed it
But I still haven't found What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found What I'm looking for
