Nights In White Satin

Here is our "Unplugged" arrangement of the Moody Blues' 1972 hit Nights In White Satin. Our unique "Unplugged" arrangements are created for one acoustic guitar and one voice. You will want to closely compare these changes to the original progression. I use a steady 4/4 instead of the original 3/4 waltz time. Despite the jazz substitutions, the song retains its dream-like quality. The chord fingerings I use are shown below followed by the A and B section chord progressions.
