Bruce Berry was a workin' man
He used to load that Econoline Van.
A sparkle was in his eyes,
but his life was in his hand.
Well late at night when the people were gone
he used to pick up my guitar
and sing a song in a shaky voice
that was real as the day was long.
[Chorus]
F A# F A#
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night,
F A# F A#
tonight's the night, tonight's the night.
[Verse]
F
Early in the mornin' at the break of day
he used to sleep until the afternoon.
If you never heard him sing,
I guess you won't too soon.
'Cause people let me tell you,
it sent a chill up and down my spine
when I picked up the telephone
and heard that he died out on the mainline.
[Chorus]
F A# F A#
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night,
F A# F A#
tonight's the night, tonight's the night.

Bruce Berry was a workin' man;
He used to load that Econoline Van.
But early in the mornin', just about the break of day
he used to sleep until the afternoon.
[Chorus 3x]
F A# F A#
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night,
F A# F A#
tonight's the night, tonight's the night.
[Chorus]
F A# Tonight's the night,
F A#
tonight's the night,
F A# tonight's the night,
F A#
tonight's the night.
