Nighttime chords

Nighttime

• G

great song from "Sister Lovers". this song is probably easier to fingerpick. it's a 
more than straight chords at work here. this is going to be messy but so am i.


throughout the verse you're going to play a G Am7 progression which goes like this. 
to the recording for the exact rhythm.

 G      Am7
---3----3--|    throw in a little strumming at the end of each interval.
---0----1--|
---0----0--|    voice the G with your ring on the the low E and pinky on the
------0h2--|    high E.
-----------|
-3---------|

i--2--  play around on the high E. move it up to 3 once or twice.
m--3--

   G   Am7               G       Am7
At nightime I go out and see the people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way

The chorus has a fingerpicking pattern. i don't know exactly how alex plays, so i won't 
it. you can come up with something yourself. Dsus4 is D with your pinky on 3 on the E 
and Cmaj7 is C with an open B string.

Chorus
    D           Dsus4          C
And dressing so sweet, all the people to see
        D                      C               Cmaj7
They're looking at me, all the people to see.

And when I set my eyes on you

And when you're in the moon
Oh you look so pretty

Caught a glance in your eyes

And fell through the skies
