Fill In

Just for those of you too lazy to work out the fill ins for yourself... while its 
to play it around the 2nd fret(as i've tabbed it),
i myself think it sounds much nicer on the 3rd string, around the 6-9th frets; its got a 
sound.

[Chords]

[Intro]

[Verse 1] - C#m, C#m+7, A, E(low), G#m

C#m                C#m+7
Oh the wind whistles down
    A              A(Open)
The cold dark street tonight
        E                        G#m
And the people they were dancing to the music vibe
        C#m
And the boys chase the girls
        C#m+7
With the curls in their hair
          A                     A(Open)
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
        E
And the songs they get louder
                       G#m
Each one better than before


[Chorus]

C#m
And you’re singing the songs

Thinking this is the life
                       A                        A(Open)
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
                E(high)
Where you gonna go

Where you gonna go
                        G#m
Where you gonna sleep tonight

C#m
And you’re singing the songs

Thinking this is the life
        A                                  A(Open)
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
E(high)
Where you gonna go

Where you gonna go
                      G#m
Where you gonna sleep tonight


[Bridge]


[Verse 2]

C#m                 C#m+7
So you’re heading down the road

In your taxi for four
           A                     A(Open)
And you’re waiting outside Jimmy’s front door
    E(low)                            G#m
But nobody’s in and nobody’s home ‘til four
          C#m                 C#m+7
So you’re sitting there with nothing to do
 A                               A(Open)
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
    E(low)                                 G#m
And where you’re gonna go and where you’re gonna sleep tonight
