Db7(no5) Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Am7 Em7 Am7
Mona's become a child of the night
( ni- i -i ight)
C9 C13 C9
When she goes out
Fmaj9 Bb13add9-5 Bb13add9
It's only for bare ne cessities
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Am7 Em7 Am7
She says she's had it up to here with light
( li-i-i-i-ight )
C9
While the city sleeps
Fmaj9 E7+5
That's when she comes alive
Bb13add9 Amadd9
Yes, the night belongs to Mona
Bb13add9-5 Bb13add9 E/A Am7
When she's dancing all alone
D7sus4 [ch]Fmaj7/Bb[/ch] Amaj7
Forty floors a bove the city
Db7+5 Cmaj9 B+/F Ebmaj9 A7-5 Gm7addC/Ab
CDs spinnin' AC hummin' Feelin' pretty
Db7 G7+5 Cmaj9 Fmaj7 Am7 Em7 Am7
Sometimes she'll call at some un holy hour
(ho-ou-our
C13
She wants to talk
Fmaj9 Bb13add9-5 Bb13add9
All of this grim and funny stuff
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Am7 Em7 Am7
Then she'll go all quiet in her Chelsea tower
(tow---er )
C9 C13 C9
And that' when we wait
Fmaj9 Bb13add9-5
To see how the story ends
Amadd9
'Cause the night belongs to Mona
Bb13add9-5 E/A Am7
When she's dancing all a lone
D7sus4 [ch]Fmaj7/Bb[/ch] Amaj7
Forty floors a bove the city
Db7+5 Cmaj9 B+/F Ebmaj9 A7-5 Gm7addC/Ab
CDs spinnin' AC hummin' Feelin' pretty
Bb9-5 Fmadd9
Was it the fire down town
Bbm7 Eb11 Cm7
That turned her world a round
Bbm7 Eb9 Dbmaj7
Was it some guy or lots of different things
Ab11 Eb11
We all wonder where she's gone
Abm9 Eb11
That sunny girl we used to know
Abm9 Amaj7 Dmaj7
Now every night we get the Mona show
F#m7 Fmaj9 Am7 Em7 Am7
Maybe it's good that she's a bove it all
( awwwwwwww
C13
things don't seem as dark
Fmaj9 Bb9-5 Bb9
When you're already dressed in black
Cmaj9 Fmaj9 Am7 Em7 Am9
We try not to see the writing on the wall
(waaaaaaah---
C13
What happens to morrow
Fmaj9 F13
When the moonrays
Fm(maj7) Fm6
Get so bright
Am7 Am7-9 Am7
When she rises
Ab+5
Towards the starlight
Cmaj7/G
Miles above
F#9-5
The city's heat
Cmaj7/G
Will she fall hard
[ch]E/C[/ch] Gm7-5 G11
Or float softly to the street
G13-9 Bb13add9-5 Amadd9
Tonight the night belongs to Mona
Bb13add9-5 Bb13add9 E/A Am7
When she's dancing all a lone
D7sus4 [ch]Fmaj7/Bb[/ch] Amaj7
Forty floors a bove the city
Db7+5 Cmaj9 B+/F Ebmaj9 A7-5 Gm7addC/Ab
CDs spinnin' AC hummin' Feelin' pretty
