Jacob (jsjacob@soda.berkeley.edu) The lyrics are right out of the insert to "The Smiths I Best..." Yes, the chords sound picked, but I prefer to pound out (strum) the chords and sing along. I mean, aren't these lyrics so uplifting?! ;-) As for rhythm, I always say go find a recording -- it's much easier than trying to get it from a transcription (or to put it into one, for that matter...) ##Capo up to the fourth fret (This song is really in the key of E). Intro: AFG AG Am G F G Take me out tonight Am G where there's music and there's people Am G F G who are young and alive Am G Am G Driving in your car F C I never never want to go home G Am Gm because I haven't got one F G anymore AG Am G F G Take me out tonight Am G because I want to see people and I Am G G want to see lights Am G Am G Driving in your car F C oh please don't drop me home G Am G because it's not my home, it's their Am G G home, and I'm welcome no more Chorus: EF G C Am And if a double-decker bus F G crashes into us C to die by your side F G such a heavenly way to die C Am And if a ten ton truck F G kills the both of us C to die by your side F G the pleasure the privilege is mine AG Am G F G Take me out tonight Am G Gm oh take me anywhere, I don't care Am G Am And in the darkened underpass G F G I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last Am G (but then a strange fear gripped me and I Am G G just couldn't ask) AG Am G F G Take me out tonight Am G Gm take me anywhere, I don't care Am G Am G Just driving in your car F C I never never want to go home G Am Gm because I haven't got one F G I haven't got one Chorus Am G Am G There is a light and it never goes out F C G There is a light and it never goes out -- (======== John S.
