10,000 Maniacs

Because The Night,

Chords by Ian C.T. vom Saal

As recorded by the 10,000 Maniacs on their 'MTV Unplugged Album' in 1993.

This is one of my Favorite songs done by 10,000 Maniacs from their MTV

Unplugged Album. Originally written by Bruce Springsteen & Patti Smith, this

version is a bit different, utilizing some different words & emphasizing

some

different changes, chords, & accents. The Instrumental Solo is the only

part

of the song that I tried to leave open to interpretation because it was done

on

volin, everything else is pretty much dead on.? It is rather difficult to

emulate

the beginning & ending of this song since it's done on piano, but I feel

that

what I have here works well.? I usually use a lot of chord substitutions, so

this

is just a very elemental version of what I play when I play this song out.?

I blend

fingerpicked chords & strummed chords throughout the song for dynamic

purposes - this adds a little more color - please play this song how you

like,

what I have below is just a rough guide . . . but it is rather accurate.
