Half past twelve,
             D                             d
    and I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone,
           F                               a
    how I hate to spend the evening on my own.

    Autumn winds 
             D                        d
    blowing outside the window as I look around the room, 
            F                                 a
    and it makes me so depressed to see the phone.
F                                  d                         -  a - E
    There's not a soul out there,     no one to hear my pr- a- y- er.

 a           F       G         a
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight,
  F             a                    G       a
won't somebody help me chase these shadows away!
             F       G         a
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight,
 F                   a                G           a
take me through the darkness to the break of the day !

    a                     D                             d
1. Movie stars, find the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to win,
             F                                   a
    it's so different from the world I'm living in.
                     D                      d
    Tired of T.V., I open the window and I gaze into the night,
                 F                               a
    but there's nothing there to see, no one in sight.
F                                  d                           - a -E
    There's not a soul out there,     no one to hear my pr- a- ye- r.

How to practise this song

1
Put your capo on fret 5
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
2
Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.
Open
3
Practise the change: F ↔ D
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
