Velvet Underground - After Hours guitar tab
Return-Path:
This is a great VU song, sung by Mo Tucker and covered I understand by
REM. Play this on an acoustic and drop the tuning a half-step.
AFTERHOURS
(1,2,3)
C A7
If you close the door
Dm G
The night could last forever
C A7
Leave the sunshine out
Dm G
And say hello to never
C C7
All the people are talking and they're having such fun
F Fm
I wish this could happen to me
C A7
But if you close the door
Dm G C
I'll never have to see the day again
C A7
But if you close the door
Dm G
The night could last forever
C A7
Leave the wine glass out
Dm G
And drink a toast to never
C C7
Someday I know someone will look into my eyes
F
And say hello
Fm
You're my very special one
C A7
But if you close the door
Dm G C (Bass line to bridge: C-B-Bb)
I'll never have to see the day again
Bridge:
Am E7 Am E7
Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars
Am E7 Am Am-G#-G
And people on subways and trains
Dm A7 Dm A7
Looking grey in the rain as they stand disarrayed
F G
Oh but people look well in the dark
C A7
If you close the door
Dm G
The night could last forever
C A7
Leave the sunshine out
Dm G
And say hello to never
C C7
Someday I know someone will look into my eyes
F
And say hello
Fm
You're my very special one
C A7
But if you close the door
Dm G C A7
I'll never have to see the day again
Dm G C A7
I'll never have to see the day again (once more)
Dm G C
I'll never have to see the day again
Am E7
