Bruce Berry was a workin' man;
                                    Riff2/Riff4
He used to load that Econoline Van.

A sparkle was in his eyes,
                             Riff2/Riff4
but his life was in his hand.
E7
Late at night when the people were gone 
                           Riff5 (w/guitar improv)
he used to pick up my guitar

and sing a song in a shaky voice
                             Riff2
that was real as the day was long.

                    Riff1                 Riff2/Riff4
Tonight's the night,        tonight's the night,
                    Riff1                 Riff2/Riff4
Tonight's the night,        tonight's the night,

Riff5 (w/guitar improv)
Early in the mornin' at the break of day
he used to sleep until the afternoon.
If you never heard him sing,
I guess you won't too soon.
'Cause people let me tell you,
it sent a chill up and down my spine
when I picked up the telephone
and heard that he died out on the mainline.

E             D     Riff1   E             D (Riff2/Riff4)
Tonight's the night,        tonight's the night,
E             D     Riff1   E             D (Riff2/Riff4)
Tonight's the night,        tonight's the night,

GUITAR SOLO (over E, w/Riff5)

Riff5 (w/guitar improv)
Bruce Berry was a workin' man;
He used to load that Econoline Van.
Well late at night when the people were gone 
he used to pick up my guitar

GUITAR SOLO

and sing a song in a shaky voice
                             Riff2
that was real as the day was long.
