A               F#m           Bm
As sure as the night owl keeps watch
          D            E          A
With his keen sense of wisdom and wit
         A         F#m
Ill be deep in my dreams
            Bm
And youll be out on the scene
D            E          A
Playing the fool once again

[Verse]

     A        D
The Flip of a coin
                E
The Pluck of a petal
            F#m    A7     F#m
Luck of the draw prove no better
                      D
Than the night owl’s song
                  E
But you won't be home
                      A
And ill be sleeping alone

[Chorus]

A                  F#m          Bm
As sure as the night owl keeps watch
D                 E      A
Singing the night owl’s blues
         A      F#m
Ill be slipping away
   Bm
In fear of the day
          D           E       A
That our love may end up old news

[Verse]

    A          D
The Flip of a coin
                E
The Pluck of a petal
           F#m    A7      F#m
Luck of the draw prove no better
                     D
Than the night owl’s song
                  E
But you won't be home
                    A
And ill be sleeping alone
