This song was recorded by Rod Argent, Chris White, and other musicians after the Zombies
had broken up, and was meant to be released on a posthumous album to capitalize on the
unexpected success of "Time of the Season".  It was previously recorded by the full, 
original group under the title "Call of the Night".  Those lyrics are included below the tab.

This song sounds best using barre chords almost exclusively, but especially for the main
Gm - Csus2 (x35533) riff.

Gm  Csus2  (x4)

Verse 1:

Gm                  Csus2    C         D
Last night I walked out to a darkening sky
  Gm          Csus2        C            D
I heard a sad song and the song made me cry

CHORUS:

Gm    Bb
Girl, help me
  Eb             F           Gm
I can't think of nothing but you
Bb
Help me
  Eb             F           Gm
I can't think of nothing but you

Verse 2:

For when I was young with the fever of life
Your love cut my soul like the blade of a knife

(Chorus)

Bridge:

           C                                D
And when I take a look around to see what's done
   Bb                             F
To see the sum of all that I've become
Gm                                 D
Then I see it's true girl, there's nothing left but you, oh -

(Chorus)

Verse 3:

And when I get to the door at the end of the hall
I shout out your name but you don't hear me call

(Chorus)

Bb
Help me
  Eb             F           Gm
I can't think of nothing but you
Bb
Help me
  Eb             F           Gm
I can't think of nothing but you

"Call of the Night" lyrics:

Verse 1:

I was born when the sun had gone from the sky
When the night had its reign (rain?) and the day had gone by

Chorus:
Oh yeah
I hear the call of the night
Yeah
I hear the call of the night

Verse 2:

And when I was young with the fever of life
The night cut my soul like the blade of a knife

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Can you hear it when it's near
Like a larva without fear (!)
Can you feel it, can you hear it

(Chorus)

Verse 3:

And when I am old and ready to die
I'll fade as the sun will fade from the sky

(Chorus)
