- GOING OUT TONIGHT (Mary Chapin Carpenter & John Jennings)
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- [Actually in F; capo 5.]
- [Each chord is about half a measure.]
- [The rhythm is an important part of this song; I'd write it down, but
- I think it's pretty easy to figure out from listening to the recording.
- C is 332010, and C(9) is 330010.]

- C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9)
- I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend
- C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9)
- I need a welcome smile and the grasp of an open hand
- F F Am Am F F Am Am
- Gonna sit for hours in a small dark place, catch up with a long lost face
- C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9)
- And talk about how long it's really been
-
- I'm going out tonight with perfume on my wrist
- I'm need to find someone to show me what I've missed
- And when I see that someone sittin' there, gonna tell your memory I don't care
- If he offers something more than just a kiss
-
- G G Em F F F F F
- Underneath the moon so bright, I wanna fall tonight
- G G G F
- Beneath a spell
- G G Em F F F F F
- Underneath the sky so clear, I wanna find someone waiting there
- G G G G
- Who used to know me well
-
- I'm going out tonight without a chaperone
- I'm gonna leave that meddling heart of mine at home
- 'Cause it don't like crowds or closing time, neon blues or pickup lines
- It makes me spend my Friday nights alone
-
- Underneath the moon so bright [first guitar solo]
- Underneath the sky so clear [second guitar solo]
-
- I'm gonna tell myself that someone I adore
- Is the one I'm with, ain't that what friends are for
- 'Cause my empty arms are open wide; I'm long on spite, and short on pride
- And the old way isn't working anymore
-
- C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C.
- I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend
