Am                      G
The night gang started working
F                     E
Laid a mile of solid road
      Dm                 C
As I watched, I got to thinking
           E            Am
You ain't never coming home.

I looked out of nowhere
There was nobody at all
To get me help to get through to you
I'm here making night calls

Chorus:
A         C#m      D          C E
Night calls, making night calls
A         C#m      D          C E
Night calls, making night calls.

A          G                     A
I have, I have tried so hard to reach you
G                       A
But you must be moving fast
D                       C
All my hopes about the future
              B                E
They'll just move on into the past.

You know that it ain't easy
And the twilight starts to fade
Shouldn't you the chill of the morning
Thinking of the plans we made

Chorus:
Oh, night calls
Making night calls
Let it ring
The night calls
Making night calls
Oh, night calls
Give up those night calls
