Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

There’s a bar right across the street

He’s got a need he just can’t beat

Out on the floor, he shuffles his feet away

He’ll get the girl ‘cause he looks so fine

He’s gonna win her every time

He knows he will, he’s dressed to kill, he’s a night owl

Chorus

So move on, there’s a howl of a night owl calling

To belong, she’s crying in the night

Be strong, find the heart of the night owl falling

Stay up till dawn until the night is gone

Verse 2

What will become of the restless kind

Where do they go when they’ve done their time

Wearing their hearts out on the line for all to see

Must be the gypsy in their soul

They have a need to rock and roll

They always will, they’re out there still, they’re the night owls

Chorus

So move on, there’s a howl of a night owl calling

To belong, she’s crying in the night

Be strong, find the heart of the night owl falling

Stay up till dawn until the night is gone (‘till the night is gone) guitar solo..

Chorus

So move on, there’s a howl of a night owl calling

To belong, she’s crying in the night

 (Gotta) Be strong, find the heart of the night owl falling

Stay up till dawn until he dawn is gone (‘till the night is gone)

(Guitar solo, piano optional finish:

The night goes on and on

until the night is gone

The night goes on and on

until the night is gone

You gotta be so strong….

The night goes on and on

until the night is gone…

So move on
