A♭ major129 BPM4/43:37LiveLive In My Mindmedium confidence
Capo 1 — play the shapes in G and it sounds in A♭ major. Much easier than fingering A♭ major straight.
Verse 1
Eight o'clock, TVs on
Couple regulars with the game rolled on
Bartender wipin' down the rail
College kids blowin' up her cell
Bridal party came crashin' in
Dressed up loud with their best friends
Band was soundcheckin', lights turned on
Felt like just another night rollin' on
Pre-Chorus
But you could feel it buildin' up
Like the room was catchin' fire
Chorus
By 2AM
That place was wall-to-wall
Hands up, lights down
Whole room lost in it all
Strangers turn to singin'
Tables turn to dancin'
One night, one town
Everybody all in
Funny how fast it all goes wild
Started slow... but by 2AM
Verse 2
Bride-to-be up on a chair
Best friends screamin' like they just don't care
Bartender smilin' through the rush
Holdin' down the whole damn buzz
Old boys still watchin' the score
Young kids spillin' out the door
Everybody there for somethin' different
By then, man, it all got mixed in
Pre-Chorus
Yeah, one song changed the whole damn scene
Turned it into somethin' you had to see
Chorus
By 2AM
That place was wall-to-wall
Hands up, lights down
Whole room lost in it all
Strangers turn to singin'
Tables turn to dancin'
One night, one town
Everybody all in
Funny how fast it all goes wild
Started slow... but by 2AM
Bridge
Nobody planned it
That's how it goes
One spark, one song
Then everybody knows
Final Chorus
By 2AM
That place was wall-to-wall
No room left, no voices small
Whole place givin' it all
Strangers turn to memories
One night turns to history
Funny how fast life gets wild
Started slow... but by 2AM

Generated from the chord chart. These are real guitar shapes for the chords we detected, not a transcription of what was played on the record.
Raw note map (experimental)
This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
Download note mapA lead sheet, not a full score. The melody line has been reduced automatically from the recording and paired with the detected chords. Expect the shape of the tune to be right and the details to be approximate.
