capo on 1st fret . * *

intro D Bm G

verse i

D Bm
we counted the stars on the fourth of july ,
G A
wishin’ we were rockets burstin into the sky .
D Bm
talkin’ about the redemption . . . leavin’ things behind ,
G A D Bm G A
as the sun sank west of the mendocino county line .

D Bm
as fierce as monday mornin’ feelin’ washed away
G A
i orchestrated paradise but couldn’t make you stay .
D Bm
you dance with horses , through the sands of time
G A D
as the sun sinks west of the mendocino county line .

chorus

G A
i have these pictures and i keep these photographs
G A
to remind me of a time . these pictures and these photographs
G Bm
let me know i’m doing fine . i used to make you happy once
G A D Bm G A
upon a time but the sun sank west of the mendocino county line .

verse ii

D Bm
the two of us together , felt nothing but right
G A
feelin’ near immortal every friday night .
D Bm
lost in our convictions , lips stained with wine
G A D
as the sun sank west of the mendocino county line .

chorus ii

G A
i have these pictures and i keep these photographs
G A
to remind me of a time . these pictures and these photographs
G Bm
let me know i’m doing fine . i used to make you happy once
G A D
upon a time but the sun sank west of the mendocino county line .

bridge

C G
i don’t talk to you too much these days
C D
i just thank the lord pictures don’t fade
C G
i spent with an angel just passing through
A
now all that’s left is this image of you .
