Chords for Nanci Griffith - Fly By Night

[G] Well, this is my little punkabilly song here.
This is a tune off the last album,
_ the Last of the True Believers album.
And it's a tune that is kind of a crazy song
called Fly by Night.
It's a very unusual tune for me to have written. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, it's just another summer morning, [C] baby,
somewhere in [G] this town the heat is rising.
_ [C] _ _ [G] _
Oh, and I know where you spent [C] last night,
so [G] you can stop _ apologizing.
_ [C] _ _ [G] _
[C] And you say that you've been [Bm] out just looking around this town.
[C] Well, I don't want to know [D] exactly what you [C] found,
[G] because tonight [D] I'm going out [G] on [C] these streets
[G] to watch the lonely hearts go by.
_ [C] Don't they fly by [G] at night?
I'm going out on these streets tonight
to watch the lonely hearts go by.
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
[C] And I'll be standing on the corner
[Bm] watching them in the boat go by.
[Am] Well, I don't want to touch them, [D] honey.
I'll look them [G] in the [Am] eye and [G] say,
tonight [D] I am [G] out [C] on these streets
to [G] watch the lonely hearts go by.
Fly _ [C] _ [G] by night at night.
I am out [C] on these streets to [G] watch
the lonely hearts go by.
[D] _ [G] _ [C] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, and I never put a chain upon your heart
or tried to make you walk the line for me.
_ [C] _ _ [G] _
Only a fool would want a heart that
needs [C] a chain to keep it [G] resting every side of me. _ _ _ _
[C] And you say you wish I cared [Bm] what you did with your time,
[Am] but what your time is yours [D] and tonight is [G] going to be [Am] mine.
And [G] I'm going out [F#m] on these [G] streets [C] tonight
to [D] watch the lonely [G] hearts go by.
I [C] hear they fly [D] by at night.
I'm [G] going out [D] on these streets [C] tonight
[G] to watch the lonely hearts go by.
_ _ [C] _ [G] _
And [C] I'm coming out of the pocket [Bm] and into my own.
I'm [Am] going to have a stronger heart [D] when I'm around the [G] dimple,
because I'm going out [D] on these streets [C] tonight
to [G] watch the lonely hearts go by.
_ [C] Oh, they fly [G] by, fly by on these streets tonight
to watch the lonely hearts go by.
_ _ [C] _ _ [G]
And [C] I'll be standing on the corner
[Bm] watching them in both go by.
[Am] Well, I don't want a touch of money.
[D] I'll look them in the [G] eye and say tonight
[D] I am out [C] on these streets to [G] watch the lonely hearts go by.
_ [C] And they fly [G] by at night.
I'm going out on these streets [C] [G] tonight
to watch the [D] lonely hearts [G] go by.
[D] _ [C] Oh, they [Em] fly [D] by at night.
[G] I'm going out [D] on these streets [C] [G] tonight
to watch the lonely hearts go by.
