   This is a great VU song, sung by Mo Tucker and covered I understand by 

   REM. Play this on an acoustic and drop the tuning a half-step. 

   

   

   AFTERHOURS

   

   

   

   

   (1,2,3)

          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 talking and they're having such fun

     F                         Fm

   I wish this 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

   But 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

   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        (Bass line to bridge: C-B-Bb)

   I'll never have to see the day again

   

   

   

   Bridge:

   

   Am         E7          Am       E7

   Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars

       Am        E7          Am        Am-G#-G       

   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

   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

   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       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

   

   

   

   

   

      Am                                      E7

  

   E A D G B E                            E A D G B E
