          A
I need a pick me up
                       D
A Rollin' Thunder truck
A                   D
I need a shot of you
           A
That tattooed lady wild
                    D
Like a mountain lion
         A                            D
I got a hunger, that’s the loving truth

           G          D    G
You got a long night coming
       G           D    G
And a long night pumping
             C
You got the right position
     G
The heat of transmission

Chorus:
    D          A
A shot in the dark
                 D
Make you feel alright
               A
A shot in the dark
                       D
All through the whole night
               A
A shot in the dark
                 D
Yeah, electric sparks
               G
A shot in the dark
         C           D
Beats a walk in the park, yeah

Blast it on the radio
Breaking on the TV show
Send it out on all the wires
And if I didn't know any better
Your mission is to party
Till the broad daylight

You got a long night comin'
And a long night goin'
You got the right position
The heat of transmission

Chorus

A                       D    G
My mission is to hit ignition

Chorus

               A
A shot in the dark
                    D
Ooh, a shot in the dark
               A
A shot in the dark
               D
A shot in the dark
               A
A shot in the dark
                 D
Make you feel alright
               G
A shot in the dark
         C           D
Beats a walk in the park, yeah
