Intro C C7 F Fm

      C               C7
When the evenin' sun goes down,
          F                 Fm
You will find me hangin' 'round;
        C          Am            F      G     
Oh, the night life,   ain't a good life,  

         C       Am    Dm7    G7
But it's my life.
 

       C              C7
Many people just like me

         F              Fm
Dreamin' of old used-to-be's;

         C          Am             F      Fm   
and the night life,     ain't a good life,     

         C        F       Fm   
But it's my life.
