Afterhours
Velvet Underground

I remember going out one night doing the first set basically straight, we always had a couple of beers, and then coming back for the second set after someone had passed a joint and literally, I kid you not, tuning for 15 minutes. And it wasn't working. This is before little tuning machines came out so you had to actually tune and we tuned forever and then played a song and then we tuned for another 5 minutes, nobody could hear.   [Doug Yule, VU]

       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 dancing and they're having such fun
  F                       Fm
I wish it 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
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
Oh 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    
I'll never have to see the day again



Bridge:

Am         E7          Am       E7
Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars
    Am        E7          Am            
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
And 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 dancing and they're having such fun
        F                 Fm
I wish it could happen to me


              C         A7
'Cause 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
