Twistin' The Night Away
Sam Cooke
[Verse 1]
[G] Let me tell you 'bout a place, [Em] Somewhere up a New York way
[C] Where the people are so gay, [D7] Twistin' the night away
[G] Here they have a lot of fun, [Em] Puttin' trouble on the run
[C] Man, you find the old and young, [D7] Twistin' the night a[G]way.
|[Chorus]
|They're [G] twistin', twistin', Everybody's feelin' great
|They're [C] twistin', twistin', They're [D7] twistin' the night a[G]way
[Verse 2]
[G] Here's a man in evenin' clothes, [Em] How he got here, I don't know, but
[C] Man, you oughta see him go, [D7] Twistin' the night away
[G] He's dancin' with the chick in slacks, [Em] She's a movin' up and back
[C] Oh man, there ain't nothin' like [D7] Twistin' the night a[G]way
|[Chorus]
|They're [G] twistin', twistin', Everybody's feelin' great
|They're [C] twistin', twistin', They're [D7] twistin' the night a[G]way
[Post-Chorus]
Lean [G] up, lean [Em] back, Lean [C] up, lean [D7] back
Wa[G]tusi, now [Em] Fly, now [C] Twist
They're [D7] twistin' the night a[G]way
[Verse 3]
[G] Here's a fella in blue jeans, [Em] Dancin' with a older queen
[C] Who's dolled up in a diamond rings and [D7] Twistin' the night a[G]way
[G] Man, you oughta see her go, [Em] Twistin' to the rock and roll
[C] Here you find the young and old, [D7] Twistin' the night a[G] way
|[Chorus]
|They're [G] twistin', twistin', Everybody's feelin' great
|They're [C] twistin', twistin', They're [D7] twistin' the night a[G]way
One more time
[Post-Chorus]
Lean [G] up, lean [Em] back, Lean [C] up, lean [D7] back
Wa[G]tusi, now [Em] Fly, now [C] Twist
They're [D7] twistin' the night a[G]way
