Cadd9 G Cadd9 G

verse 1
Cadd9 G
i remember when you were only seventeen
Cadd9 G
you were the finest girl that my eyes had ever seen
Em C
i guess you found it hard to simply just ignore
Em C D
this scruffy beat up working class teenage troubadour
G D Em
C
so we fell in love and i toured your heart with my out of tune guitar
G D Em
C
you were wonderful you were mystical and the envy of all of my friends
G D C G
seems like only yesterday under the stars on brighton beach

verse 2
Cadd9 G
oh what a time it was what a time to be alive
Cadd9 G
remember janice and jimmy kennedy and king how they cried
Em C
i sang to you the songs of ramblin’ jack
Em C D
you were greta garbo and i was karolac
G D Em
C
and we played so hard and we loved so hard seemed we never ever slept
G D Em
they were crazy days they were wonderful days and i loved you with all of my
C
heart
G D C G
seems like only yesterday under the stars on brighton beach

bridge
Em C
your Daddy had plans that did not include me
Em C
and he won’t stay away from your door
Em C
and i dreamed how i dreamed i could steal you away
Am D
to some far off distant shore

verse 3
Cadd9 G
then early one morning i awoke to find you gone
Cadd9 G
you wrote ’i love you baby but it’s time for me to move on’
Em C
and so my teenage heart laid scattered on the floor
Em C D
i swear to god i could not have loved you anymore
G D
and as i sit here tonight playing with my kids wondering
Em C
where you are in this world
G D Em
C
did you find your man are you happy now do you ever stop and think about me
G D C G
how i long for yesterday under the stars on brighton beach
