One of These Nights
1975
This is a pretty easy song (from the acoustic standpoint), so I was
wondering if I should put it up, so I said yeah, it'll be easy. If
you can get Meisner's slightly screechy voice down, you're set! Have
fun with it, and remember the D5 tuning.

D5
She's one of a kind
D5
Sometimes hard to find
RF1
Like a rainbow
D5
Well, she's lost all her glory
D5
And could tell you some stories
RF1
That we all should know
G5 F5
And there's too many hands
D5
Being laid on her
G5 F5 D5
Too many eyes will never see
G5
That it's dragging her down
F5 E5
But you won't hear a sound as
RF1
She turns 'round
------------------------------------------------------------------------
continue simile
Her beauty all aflight
It always seems to turn the tide
At midnight
And for her there is no rest
We are doing what is best
For our future
One of these days she may not
Be so good to you
One of these days she might
Chain you to the ground
But her fire is still burning
F5 E5 D5
And her heart is still yearning to be found

Too many hands
Being laid on her
Too many eyes will never see
That it's dragging her down
But you won't hear a sound as
She turns round
