[Intro 1]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 1]
[C]Crazy Janey and her mis[Em]sion man
were [D]back in the alley [Em]trading hands
[C]'Long came Wild Billy with his [Em]friend G-Man
all [D]duded up for Saturday [Am]night
Well, [C]Billy slammed on his [Em]coaster brakes
and said, "Anybody [D]wanna go on up
to Greasy [Em]Lake?
It's about a [C]mile down on the dark side of
[Em]route eighty-eight,
I got a [D]bottle of rose so let's [Am]try it

[Pre-chorus 1]
We'll pick [C]up Hazy Davy and [F]Killer Joe
and I'll [Am]take you all out
to where the [D]gypsy angels go
They're built like light

[Chorus 1]
Ooh, and they dance like spirits in the
[Em](night") (all night)
In the [Bm]night (all night)
Oh, you [C]don't know what
they can do [Em]to you
Spirits in the [Em]night (all night)
Oh, in the [Bm]night (all night)
Stand right [C]up now and let it shoot
[Em]through [Em]you[Em][Em]

[Verse 2]
Well now [C]Wild young Billy was a [Em]crazy cat
and he [D]shook some dust
out of his [Em]coonskin cap
He said, [C]"Trust some of this,
it'll show [Em]you where you're at,
or at [D]least it'll help you really [Am]feel it"
Well, by the [C]time we made it up to [Em]Greasy Lake
I had my [D]head out the window
and Janey's fin[Em]gers were in my cake
I [C]think I really dug her
'cause I was [Em]too loose to fake
I said, "I'm [D]hurt,"
she said, "Honey, let me [Am]heal it"

[Pre-chorus 2]
And we [C]danced all night to a [F]soul fairy band
And she [Am]kissed me just right
like only a [D]lonely angel can
She felt so nice,

[Chorus 2]
just as soft as a spirit in the
[Em](night)" (all night)
In the [Bm]night (all night)
Oh, [C]Janey don't know what she do to [Em]you
Like a spirit in the [Em]night (all night)
All [Bm]night (all...)
I stand right [C]up and I let her shoot
[Em]through [Em]me[Em][Em]

[Solo 1]
[Am](Ooh ooh ooh ooh..[Am].)[C][C]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Am][Am][C][C]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 3]
Now the [C]night was bright
and the [Em]stars threw light on [D]Billy and Davy
[Em]Dancing in the moonlight
They [C]were down near the water
in a [Em]stone mud fight
Killer [D]Joe gone passed out on the [Am]lawn
Well now [C]Hazy Davy got [Em]really hurt,
he [D]ran into the lake in just his [Em]socks and a shirt
[C]Me and Crazy Janey was
making [Em]love in the dirt,
[D]singing our birthday [Am]songs

[Pre-chorus 3]
[C]Janey said it was [F]time to go
So we [Am]closed our eyes and said goodbye
to [D]gypsy angel row, felt so right

[Chorus 3]
Together we moved like spirits in the
[Em](night)" (all night)
In the [Bm]night (all night)
Oh, you [C]don't know what they can do to [Em]you
Like a spirit in the [Em]night (all night)
All [Bm]night (all night)
Oh, [C]stand right up and let it shoot [Em]through you

[Chorus 4]
Like a spirit in the [Em](night)" (all night)
All [Bm]night (all night)
All [C]night (all night)
All [Em]night (all night)
All [Em]night (all night)
All [Bm]night (all night)
All [C]night, ooh, all

[Outro 1]
[Em](night...)[Em][Em][Em]
