Intro: G 

                        C 
Sylvia was working as a waitress in Beaumont 
               G                                 D 
She said, "I'm moving away, I'm gonna get what I want 
    G                                   C 
I'm tired of these small-town boys that don't move fast enough 
          G                                          D                G 
I'm gonna find me one who wears a leather jacket and likes his living rough" 

                                       C 
So she saved her tips and overtime and bought an old rusty car 
    G                                                 D 
She sold 'most everything she had to make a brand new start 
             G                            C 
She said, "I won't be needing these silly dresses and nylon hose 
            G                                   D              G 
'Cause when I get to where I'm going, I'm gonna buy me all new clothes" 

                C 
The night's too long 
              G 
It just drags on and on 
                        D 
And then there's never enough 
                           G 
That's when the sun starts coming up 
                    C     D 
Don't let go of her hand 
                      G     C 
You just might be the right man 
    D         C 
She loves the night 
    D         C 
She loves the night 
    D                C 
She doesn't want the night 
                 G     C 
Don't want it to end 
                 G     C 
Don't want it to end 


          G                              C 
Well, she works in an office now and she guesses the pay's all right 
        G                                                D 
She can buy a few new things to wear and still go out at night 
       G                                             C 
And as soon as she gets home from work, she wants to be out with the crowd 
              G                                D         G 
Where she can dance and toss her hair back and laugh out loud 

                                   C 
Well, the music's playing fast and they just met 
   G                                                      D 
He presses up against her and his shirt's all soaked with sweat 
             G                             C 
And with her back against the bar, she can listen to the band 
          G                         D                G 
And she's holding a Corona and it's cold against her hand 

                C 
The night's too long 
              G 
It just drags on and on 
                        D 
And then there's never enough 
                           G 
That's when the sun starts coming up 
                    C     D 
Don't let go of her hand 
                      G     C 
You just might be the right man 
    D         C 
She loves the night 
    D         C 
She loves the night 
    D                C 
She doesn't want the night 
                 G     C 
Don't want it to end 
                 G     C 
Don't want it to end 
                 G     C  G    C  G
