BIG CITY NIGHTS         -   Scorpions

[Intro]
|Am    |F   E D |G     |Gsus   | (4x)

[Verse 1]
         Am      F
When the daylight
           C             Dm   
is falling down into the night
        Am        F
And the sharks try
         C                E   
to cut a big piece out of life
         Am            F  
It feels alright to go out
            C             Dm    
to catch an    outrageous thrill
         Am                 F     
But it's more like spinning wheels
           C                 E    
of fortune which never stand still

[Chorus]
Am       F         G      
Big city, big city nights,
Gsus               
you keep me burning
Am       F         G     Gsus
Big city, big city nights

[Verse 2]
         Am      F
When the sunlight
          C        Dm  
is rising up in my eyes
        Am        F
And the long night
            C                  E   
has left me back at somebody's side
         Am            F   
It feels alright for a long
            C               Dm  
sweet minute   like hours before
         Am                F  
But it's more like looking out
              C               E   
for something,  can't find anymore

[Chorus]
Am       F         G      
Big city, big city nights,
Gsus               
you keep me burning
Am       F         G       Gsus           
Big city, big city nights, always yearning

[Chorus]
Am       F         G      
Big city, big city nights,
Gsus               
you keep me burning
Am       F         G     Gsus
Big city, big city nights

[Bridge]
E           G                         C   
There is no dream that you can't make true
                      Bm  
if you're looking for love
E              G                 C  
But there's no girls burning the ice
             Dsus2                   Am
away from my heart,       maybe tonight

[Interlude]
|Am  |F   |G   |Gsus | (2x)

[Solo]
|Am  |F   |C   |Dm  |Am  |F   |C   |E   |   (2x)

[Chorus]
Am       F         G      
Big city, big city nights,
Gsus               
you keep me burning
Am       F         G       Gsus           
Big city, big city nights, always yearning

[Chorus]
Am       F         G      
Big city, big city nights,
Gsus               
you keep me burning
Am       F         G       Gsus                 
Big city, big city nights (Fade out with chorus)
