This is an attempt at a transcription of the track "Here Comes The 
Night" from Sunset Studies. It's 6/8, in the key of C, and actually 
uses standard tuning for once.

{now for the verse:}

Here comes the    night 
C  Am        Em     F  G  
Roll on, you careless evening  
C    Am   Em   F  G 
When we unite  
C     Am      
Not a voice concurs 
    Em        F     
Not heaven or hell 
G         Am           C 
So let it come, let it rain 
       F                    G 
Let it burn through you and me again 
       Am              C 
In the slums without a name

And it isn't only poverty to...

Here comes your man 
C       Am                    Em      F    G 
Rolling down the street, your callous fiend 
C          Am      Em   F  G 
He puts it in your hand 
C           Am             Em
