Here it is, three hours past mid-night

Well, here it is three hours past mid-night
                          Ab
-6*-5*5*-4 3*  -5* -5*   5*-43*
And my ba-by’s no-where ‘round
        Eb7                                  Db9 
 5*  -4  4*  4* 4*  4*  -4  4*  -4   -5*   3*
Well, I lis-ten so hard to hear her foot-steps
                     Ab            Db9   Ab
-6*-6* -6* -5*5*-43*  4   4   3*
And I ain’t ev-  en heard a sound


Yes, I tossed and tumbled on my pillow,
But I just can’t close my eyes (2X)
If my baby don’t come back pretty quick
Yes I just can’t be satisfied

Well, I want my baby
I want her by my side (2X)
Well, if she don’t come home pretty soon
Yes I just can’t be satisfied
