Lyrics
G D C D
It's late in the evening, she's wondering what clothes to wear,
She puts on her make-up, and brushes her long, blonde hair.
C D G Em
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."
We go to a party, and everyone turns to see,
This beautiful lady, who's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."
I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes,
C D C D
And the wonder of it all is that you just don't realise,
How much I love you.
It's time to go home now, and I've got an aching head.
So I give her the car keys, and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light.
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight."
At the beginning of the song and after each chorus and at the end there is a very small guitar solo played and since not many tabs include it, I've decided I will. You will have to listen to the song to get the timing right. I've tried to put the spaces where there is a gap in the solo before you start playing again.
Guitar Solo (although very short)
