Heart Of The Night

[E] [A] [E] [F#m]* [A] [D] 2x

In the [A]heart of the night
In the [D]cool southern rain
There's a [A]full moon in sight
Shining [D]down on the Pontchartrain

And the [A]river she rises
Just like she [D]used to do
She's so [A]full of surprises
She re[D]minds me of you

In the [F#m]heart of the night
In the heart of the [D]night
In the [F#m]heart of the [D]night
[F#m]Oh,  [D] down in [A]New Orleans

[E] [A] [E] [F#m]  [A] [D]

There's a [A]night bird singing
Right on [D]through till the dawn
And the [A]streets are still ringing
With people [D]carrying on
It's been [A]so long waiting
Just to [D]be here again
[A]Anticipating
All the [D]time I could spend

In the [F#m]heart of the night
In the heart of the [D]night
In the [F#m]heart of the [D]night
[F#m]Oh,  [D] down in [A]New Orleans

[E] [A] [E] [F#m]  [A] [D]

And I [A]trust in your love never [D]falling down
And I [A]trust in your love
Just like I [D]do in this town, oh, never [Bm]falling down
[F#m]oh, never [D]falling down

[E] [A] [E] [F#m]* [A] [D] 2x

In the [A]heart of the night
In the [D]cool southern rain
There's a [A]full moon in sight
Shining [D]down on the Pontchartrain

And the [A]river she rises
Just like she [D]used to do
She's so [A]full of surprises
She re[D]minds me of you

In the [F#m]heart of the night
In the heart of the [D]night
In the [F#m]heart of the [D]night
[F#m]Oh,  [D] down in [A]New Orleans

[E] [A] [E] [F#m]  [A] [D]

And I'm so glad to be back in New Orleans

Please don't wake me, don't shake me,

If this is only just a dream

It's the only place I can face that feels so right

Below that Dixie moon and loving you

In the Heart of the Night
