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, & beats. (Unfortunately OLGA won't let me print

all of the lyrics for fear of being sued -- sorry folks -- I'm only allowed

to use a

few words to indicate the beginning of lines & some important changes) 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.

Have fun . . . Ian  (Questions, comments, suggestions --
