I Love The Night (ver 3) by Blue Öyster Cult
I play a couple of different chord voicings on this song depending on if
I'm playing solo/acoustic or electric with a group/another guitarist. The
first variation is with open position chords and the second is using partial
barre chords. I think it sounds best with one guitar playing the open
position chords and a 2nd guitar playing the barre chords and riffs. This
is my interpretation of the song. YMMV
Open position chord voicings:
C - X|3|2|0|1|3
D - X|X|0|2|3|2*
Em - 0|2|2|0|0|0
Am - X|0|2|2|1|0
B7 - X|2|1|2|0|2
G - 3|2|0|0|3|3
*When I play this on acoustic I use Dadd2add4/A - 5|X|4|0|3|0 instead of
the Dmaj. I just like the sound of that chord in there for some reason.
Also, I prefer to play the Em as a partial barre on the 7th fret as outlined
in the "Alternate" section below instead of in the open position.
This is how I play the intro/1st interlude. Alternately, you can play it
using just the C and D chords, but on electric I like this sound better.

Am B7 Em
That night her kiss told me it was over
Am B7 Em
I walked out late into the dark
G Am C B7
The misty gloom seemed to soak up my sorrow
Am B7
The further I went on
Am B7
I felt a spreading calm
Am B7 Em
And suddenly my eyes were filled with light
Am B7 Em
And a lovely lady in white was by my side, and she said
G Am C B7
Like me, I see you’re walking alone
Am B7
Won’t you please stay?
Am B7
I couldn’t look away

Then she said I love the night

But I live to see those rays slip away

There’s so much that I can show and give to you
D C D C D
If you will welcome me tonight
C D C D
If only you had been there my dear
C D C D
We could have shared this together
No Mortal was meant to know such wonder
One look in the mirror told me so
Come darkness I’ll see her again
Yes I’m gonna go
‘Cause now I know
I love the night
The day is okay and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away
I love the night
I love the night
I love the night
These are a couple of riffs you may find useful. The first one is played
