A Girl In The Night chords

Written and recorded by Hank Thompson

C                                     F
She lives her life in honky tonks and crowded backstreet bars
    G7                                  C              G7
The world of make believe that knows no sun or moon or stars
     C                                      F
Just a glitter of a great white way and the glare of city lights
      G7                                            C
Where music's loud she's in the crowd a girl in the night

  F                           C
I wonder if she's thinking of dreams that didn't last
  D7                         G7
I wonder if she's haunted by heartaches from the past
C                             F
Perhaps there is a story of a love that wasn't right
    G7                                         C
Now shadows hide her empty pride a girl in the night

                                 F
She's sitting there so lonely as she lights a cigarette
    G7                                     C             G7
The smoke rings rise and in her eyes there seems to be regret
       C                             F

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



Is she there to tempt the lover in a dress that hugs her tight
  G7                                           C
A glass of wine to pass the time a girl in the night

Repeat #2
 
    G7                                          C
Now shadows hide her empty pride  a girl in the night
