Pick a learning view.
I was a lit tle too tall, could a used a few pounds.
Tight pants, points, hard ly re nown.
She was a black haired beau ty with big dark eyes,
and points all her own, sit tin’ way up high,
way up firm and high.
Out past the corn fields, where the woods got heav y,
out in the back seat of my Six ty Chev y,
work in’ on mys t’ries with out an y clues,
work in’ (D)on our (Em)night moves,
try’n’ to make some front page, drive (D)in news.
Work in’ (D)on our (Em)night moves
in the sum mer time,
mm,
in the sweet
sum mer time.
We were n’t in love.
Oh, no, far from it.
We were n’t search in for some pie in the sky sum mit.
We were just young and rest less and bored,
liv ing by the sword.
And we’d steal a way ev ’ry chance we could,
to the back room, to the al ley, or the trust y woods.
I used her, she used me, but nei ther one cared.
We were get tin’ our share,
work in’ (D)on our (Em)night moves,
try’n’ to lose the awk ward teen (D)age blues,
work in’ (D)on our (Em)night moves.
It was sum mer time.
Mm,
sweet
sum mer time, sum (F)mer time.
And (Cmaj7)oh,

We felt the light ning.
Yeah,
and we wait ed on the thun der,
wait ed on the thun der.
I a woke last night to the sound of thun der.
How far off, I sat and won dered.
Start ed hum ming a song from nine teen six ty two.
Ain’t it fun ny how the (Em)night moves
when you just don’t seem to (Em)have as much to lose.
Strange how the (Em)night moves,

About “Night Moves”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Night Moves"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature G. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Night Moves" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature G, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 90 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
