Brighton Beach(Chords)

	        Intro 
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
