Lyrics

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 (F)high.

Out past the corn fields, where the woods got heav y,

out in the back seat of my (F)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 (D)make some front page, drive (D)in (C)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 (F)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 (F)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

And, (C)oh,

the (G)won der.

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,

with au tumn clos ing (G)in.

(G)Night moves.

(C)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.
What key is "Night Moves" by Bob Seger played in?
Night Moves is arranged in the key of G on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Night Moves"?
The arrangement plays at 100 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Night Moves" easy to play on piano?
Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
Can I download sheet music for "Night Moves"?

Try "LIKE A ROCK", "NIGHT MOVES", "THE FIRE INSIDE". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
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 100 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.
