november of ’43

on a boat coming ’cross the sea
C/G D/G C
he left a boy , came back a man

she started running when she saw his face
G
it’d been 655 days
C/G D/G C
since she held his hand
Em G
he got down on one knee
Em G
and he pulled out that ring
Em G
that he bought in aberdeen
D
and when it hit that new york sky
( chorus )
G
it shined just like a spotlight
Am
a star up in the night sky
C Am Em C D ,
the kind of thing that takes your breath away

her eyes sparkled like that diamond

with love beaming from ’em

the kind of light that’s never gonna fade

my grandma always wore that band

through atom bombs and a baby boom

a dr . king and a man on the moon
C/G D/G C

Em G
on the day she passed away

mom would hang it on her neck
