The night she is a true companion 
 
D            B

They hear the sound 
 
A              E 
But by night's end 
 
              F#m 
It's night's abandon 
 
D                    B

Ain't anyone around 
 
 
D       E 
Closing time

Now Kenny he's been mixing sound all evening 
 
D           B 
Sometimes I think that boy 
 
D               E 
He ain't got no ears 
 
A              E 
And Kathy's laughing

Just make it out of here

So stack those chairs upon those tables 
 
D                B        D       E 
And stack those empties upon that bar 
 
A                E 
And count your money 
 
F#m 
And count my money 
 
D              B

You know where you are 
 
 
D        E

The night's all that's left behind 
 
A        E             F#m 
You take your part and I'll take mine 
 
D         E 
And go on home 
 
             A 
It's closing time
