Note: Nearly every bar in the strummed measures of this tab has eight
counts (see the first strumming measure for the counts), with each set of
triplets getting one count. The strumming pattern is down up down for the
triplets, and up for the counts two, four, six, and eight, which I have
indicated in the first strumming measure as ^ for down and v for up.

2nd verse:
Take off, take off
Take off those stay at home shoes
Break off, shake off
Take off those stay at home blues
Stairway, stairway
Down to the crowds in the street
They go their way
Looking for faces to greet
But we go on laughing
With no one to meet
Chorus:
Night in the city looks pretty to me
Night in the city looks fine
Music comes spilling out into the street
