NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN
Em D Em D
Nights in white satin never reaching the end
C G F Em
Letters I've written never meaning to send
Em D Em D
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before
C G F Em
Just what the truth is I can't say anymore
CHORUS
A C
Cause I love you, yes I love you
Em D Em D
Ohhh how I love you

[Refrão]
Gazing at people, some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through they can't understand
Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be, you'll be in the end

=============================================================
I arranged the song in Am using barre chords to match the
original chord centers:
Am : 577555
G : 355433
F : 133211
C : 332010
Bb:
x13331 or 688766
While NIWS is generally played with a strum (on solo
guitar) to imitate the original sleepy sound of the Melotron,
the song can be rearranged slightly for a more delicate sound
using arpegiated chords:
Am
(barre 5):
E ||---------------------------|--|
B ||-------5-----------5-------|--|
G ||-----5---5-------5---5-----|--|
D||---7-------7---7-------7---|--| etc, etc
A ||-------------7-------------|--|
E ||-5-------------------------|--|
