  -4      6   -6   -7 -7    6    -6   6  -5
There's something special 'bout six o'clock
-4 -4    6  6    6   -6    6  -6 6   6 6  -7   
In the morning when it's still too  early to 
 -8
knock
-7   -7  7 -7 -6b-6    6    -6  -7  7    -6
And the dusky light shines down on the block
 -6   -7  7  -7 -7 -6b-6  6  6   -6   -7  7   
And reflects up and down on the hands of the 
-6 6
clock
-5   6  -4   -5  6  -4
Six o'clock, six o'clock

Verse 1:
-4 -4   6   -7 7 -7  -7  -7  -6  -7   7 -7 -6  
A few hours ago~~~~ she was standing here~~~~
 8    8    8  -8   7-7   7 -7    7  -7  -6   
Just watching the stars in our eyes and the 
  -7
lights 
 -7  -6    -7    -7  -7    -7   -6   6
 as  up  tights  disappeared~~~~~
-7 -8   8  8  -7    8   8  -8 -7 -6 b-6
And I feel I could say what I want
-6  -6   -7     7   -7  -6    7  -7  -6    
That I could pledge her and call her my 
 7  -6  -6
confidante
 6   -7 -8   -8  -7 -8  -7   -8  -7  8   8  8  
But now I'm back alone with just my shadow in 
-7 6
front
-5 -5  6  -4    -5   6  -4
At six o'clock, six o'clock

Verse 2:

I went home and found that time to sleep was rare
Just watching my eyelids, knowing my brain bids the night not
to care
I got up and got stepping` around
But somehow it just wasn't the same happy town
And the bells didn't ring with the same happy sound
At six o'clock, six o'clock

Bridge:
-6  -6  -6 -6    -6   -6 -6  -7
If   I  go back where we parted
 -6  -6 -6-6  -6   -7   -7  -7 -7 -6 6
Could I ever feel like that again
 -6    -6  -6    -6  -5 -6    -6   -5 -6 -7
Guess I'll just have to wait 'til tomorrow
 -7  -8   -7 -8 8   -8   -7
But what can I do `til then
