TONIGHT :: DAVID BOWIE
Not really much to tab out, but just in case anyone wanted the chords.
There’s a short bar after the first three chords (where the drums come in), but it’s pretty easy to follow.
You’re on your own for the Tina Turner part.
===========================================================
(SLOW AND EASY)
(INTRO – 2x)
A E F#-
(THE REST)
(A) Ev’rything will (E) be alright (F#-) Tonight
(A) Ev’rything will (E) be alright (F#-) Tonight
(D) No one moves (A) no one talks
(E) No one thinks (D) no one walks ... Tonight
(A) (E) Tonight
...
(A) Ev’ryone will (E) be alright (F#-) Tonight
(A) Ev’ryone will (E) be alright ... To (F#-) night
(D) No one moves (A) no one talks
(E) No one thinks (D) no one walks ... Tonight
(A) (E) Tonight
...
(A) I am gon-na (E) love you till (F#-) the end
(A) I will love you (E) till I reach (F#-) the end
(D) I will love you (A) till I die
(E) I will see you (D) in the sky ... Tonight

(KEY CHANGE -- OOH!)
(B) Ev’rything will (F#) be alright (G#-) Tonight
(B) Ev’rything will (F#) be alright (G#-) Tonight

(F#) No one thinks (E) no one walks ... Tonight
(B) (tonight, tonight)
(F#) Tonight (tonight, tonight)
(E) Tonight (tonight, tonight)
(B) Tonight
That’s it.
If you want a smidge of extra credit (it’s not worth much more than that),
there is the descending bass line at the end of each cycle through the chord progression:
