(The) Little River Band - (The) Night Owl
Iâve heard this both played fast with electric guitars and slow in a wonderful
bluesy way â and both sound great! It can be found on âGreatest Hitsâ and âStreams
of successâ.
I searched everywhere for a tab for this but couldnât find one anywhereâ¦. So I
listened hard and set about creating my own. This is what I hear â but itâs my
first attempt and no doubt with mistakes, so please send me suggestions for
improvements if you know better!

Verse:
Thereâs a bar right across the street
Heâs got a need he just canât beat
Out on the floor, he shuffles his feet away
Heâll get the girl âcause he looks so fine
Heâs gonna win her every time
He knows he will, heâs dressed to kill, heâs a night owl
Chorus
So move on, thereâs a howl of a night owl calling
To belong, sheâs crying in the night
Be strong, find the heart of the night owl falling
Stay up till dawn until the night is gone
Verse 2
What will become of the restless kind
Where do they go when theyâve done their time
Wearing their hearts out on the line for all to see
Must be the gypsy in their soul
They have a need to rock and roll
They always will, theyâre out there still, theyâre the night owls
Chorus
So move on, thereâs a howl of a night owl calling
To belong, sheâs crying in the night
Be strong, find the heart of the night owl falling
Stay up till dawn until the night is gone (âtill the night is gone) guitar solo..

Stay up till dawn until he dawn is gone (âtill the night is gone)
(Guitar solo, piano optional finish:
The night goes on and on
until the night is gone
The night goes on and on
until the night is gone
You gotta be so strongâ¦.
The night goes on and on
until the night is goneâ¦
So move on
