[Intro]
D  Em

                 D
First of all I'd like to say good evening
          Em
And we're so pleased that
                          D
So many of you could come out and share
                Em                                             D
In all the love and all the happiness we have in store for you
                                Em
We want you to have a real good time
                                D
'Cause that's just what we have in mind
                         Em
Is that alright with you
     D                              Em
Now, this is a tune that I composed

And it's called
D         Em
Tonight - is the night
D
That you make me a woman
Em                   D
Now I never intended recording this song
   Em
It was a personal poem
D
This is until the day that my producer
Em                                                 D
Happened to thumb through the pages of my notebook
                                Em
He came across the words and he said
                                      D
'We got to somethin' with these words

It's happening every day
    Em
And people wanna hear about it, Betty'
D             Em                        D
You see, it's the story of a young girl
            Em                D         Em
Making love    for the very first time
    D                           Em
Now when I finally got a melody
                     D                          Em
I took it home and I-I played it for my mother
                                    D
Now I got to tell you a little bit about my mother
        Em
You see I come from one of those pretty large families
            D
And I'm the baby of the family
                       Em
And you know you never grow up to your mother
D                                          Em
I'll never forget the way she looked at me when I played it for her
               D                  Em
She said, 'Uh,   I like the music
                D
You know, baby, the melody it's really nice
Em                                          D
But I know you're not gonna sing that song'
             Em
But we eased it right on by, yes, we did
D                                           Em
And it became one of my biggest records too
                                       D
So I want you to do this for me if you will
          Em             D          Em       D
Everybody     think back    to your     very first time

[Instrumental]
|Em  |D  |Em  |D  |

Em
Now I'll give you a little while longer
              D
'Cause I know some of you
                     Em                         D
Have to think back a little further than others
                    Em
Come on now, I want you to play catch-up
               D
'Cause I don't want you waitin' till I get to the end of my song
         Em                        D
Sayin', 'Oh, yeah, now I remember'
    Em                  D
Now whether it was good
                           Em
Or you just smilin' it was good
                     D                      Em
Or on the other hand if it was not so good
                 D
Here's my story
    Em      D       Em      D
Hmm.....hmm.....mmm.....mmm...

[Chorus]
               Em
Tonight is the night
         D           Em          D
That you   make me a woman, mmm...
                Em
You said you'll be gentle with me
      D            Em        D
And I   I hope you will, mmm
            Em                D
I'm nervous and I'm tremblin'
             Em            Bm
Waitin' for you to walk in

I'm tryin' hard to relax
      G                    D
But I   just can't keep still, no

[Verse 1]
                Em
I can hear your car door slammin'
D                             Em              D
I wanna play big girl and put on a sexy smile
              Em                     D
But I know so little about what love is
             Em                       D
I just can't help actin' like a child
                           Em                           D
You're knockin' on my door   and you're ringin' my bell
                    Em                               D
Hope you're not impatient after waiting so very long
               Em                                 D
A whole year I put you off with my silly hang-ups
                    Em                             D
And we're both old enough to know right from wrong

[Chorus]
           Em
Tonight is the night
         D           Em          D
That you   make me a woman, mmm
                Em
You said you'll be gentle with me
      D            Em        D
And I   I hope you will, mmm
            Em                D
I'm nervous and I'm tremblin'
             Em            Bm
Waitin' for you to walk in

I'm tryin' hard to relax
      G                    D
But I   just can't keep still, no

[Post Chorus]
D     Em        D
Mmm...hey, baby
Em      D
Ho, ho, baby
Em     D    Em   D
Ho   yeah  Yeah


[Verse 2]
                        Em                      D
Oh, but what if my mama should come home early
             Em                     D
And catch us doin' what we're doin'
         Em
Not only will I never live it down
    D                            Em                  D
But my whole family relationship it'll all be ruined
               Em                       D
But we've gone a little bit too far now
    Em              D
Oh, to turn around
                Em
So let's just pray
     D                       Em
That true love is what we've found
  D        Em
Tonight, tonight
  D        Em

[Intro]
|D    |Em  A  |

                 D
First of all I'd like to say good evening
          Em
And we're so pleased that
A                         D
So many of you could come out and share
                Em                    A                        D
In all the love and all the happiness we have in store for you
                                Em7
We want you to have a real good time
              A                 D
'Cause that's just what we have in mind
                         Em7  A
Is that alright with you
     D                              Em
Now, this is a tune that I composed
         A7
And it's called
D         Em7         A
Tonight - is the night
D
That you make me a woman
Em    A              D
Now I never intended recording this song
   Em7                 A
It was a personal poem
D
This is until the day that my producer
Em7                           A7                   D
Happened to thumb through the pages of my notebook
                                Em7
He came across the words and he said
           A                          D
'We got to somethin' with these words

It's happening every day
    Em7                         A
And people wanna hear about it, Betty'
D             Em        A                D
You see, it's the story of a young girl
            Em         A      D         Em
Making love    for the very first time
    A  D                           Em
Now    when I finally got a melody
       A             D                         Em7
I took it home and I-I played it for my mother
    A                               D
Now I got to tell you a little bit about my mother
        Em7                             A
You see I come from one of those pretty large families
            D
And I'm the baby of the family
                       Em7                    A
And you know you never grow up to your mother
D                                          Em7
I'll never forget the way she looked at me when I played it for her
    A          D                  Em
She said, 'Uh,   I like the music
A               D
You know, baby, the melody it's really nice
Em                          A                D
But I know you're not gonna sing that song'
             Em              A
But we eased it right on by, yes, we did
D                                           Em7
And it became one of my biggest records too
                    A                  D
So I want you to do this for me if you will
          Em7  A          D          Em  A    D
Everybody      think back    to your     very first time

[Instrumental]
|Em7  A  |D  |Em  A  |D  |

Em                          A
Now I'll give you a little while longer
              D
'Cause I know some of you
                     Em                  A       D
Have to think back a little further than others
                    Em7                   A
Come on now, I want you to play catch-up
               D
'Cause I don't want you waitin' till I get to the end of my song
         Em                A       D
Sayin', 'Oh, yeah, now I remember'
    Em7                 A7  D
Now whether it was good
                           Em
Or you just smilin' it was good
A                    D                      Em
Or on the other hand if it was not so good
                A   Dmaj7
Here's my story
    Em7    A7  Dmaj7      Em7   A  D
Hmm......hmm......mmm.....mmm...

[Chorus]
               Em    A
Tonight is the night
         D           Em7     A7    Dmaj7
That you   make me a woman,  mmm
                Em7
You said you'll be gentle with me
A7    D            Em7   A7    D
And I   I hope you will, mmm
            Em7         A     D
I'm nervous and I'm tremblin'
             Em    A7       Bm7
Waitin' for you to walk in

I'm tryin' hard to relax
      G                    D   A
But I   just can't keep still, no

[Verse 1]
                Em               A
I can hear your car door slammin'
D                             Em     A7        D
I wanna play big girl and put on a sexy smile
              Em7          A7         Dmaj7
But I know so little about what love is
             Em7                A      D
I just can't help actin' like a child
                           Em7                  A        D
You're knockin' on my door   and you're ringin' my bell
                    Em7                 A7            Dmaj7
Hope you're not impatient after waiting so very long
               Em7                 A               D
A whole year I put you off with my silly hang-ups
                    Em7                 A7          Dmaj7
And we're both old enough to know right from wrong

[Chorus]
           Em7       A
Tonight is the night
         D           Em7    A    D
That you   make me a woman, mmm
                Em7              A
You said you'll be gentle with me
      D            Em    A    D
And I   I hope you will, mmm
            Em7         A     D
I'm nervous and I'm tremblin'
             Em    A       Bm
Waitin' for you to walk in

I'm tryin' hard to relax
      G                    D   A
But I   just can't keep still, no

[Post Chorus]
D     Em7       A  D
Mmm...hey, baby
Em7  A7   D
Ho,  ho,  baby
Em    A   D  A
Ho      yeah
 Em7  A  D
Ye----ah

[Verse 2]
                        Em          A            D
Oh, but what if my mama should come home early
             Em7              A      D
And catch us doin' what we're doin'
         Em7               A7
Not only will I never live it down
    Dmaj7                        Em7          A       D
But my whole family relationship it'll all be ruined
               Em7              A        D
But we've gone a little bit too far now
    Em7      A       D
Oh, to turn around
                Em  A
So let's just pray
     D                       Em    A
That true love is what we've found
  D        Em7   A
Tonight, tonight
  D        Em7
Tonight, tonight

[Verse 3]
A        D              Em7
Ho, I'll never forget tonight
