Letter To A Pretty Girl(Chords)

	        

G         C 
Hey, hey, Carla 
       D           G 
It's a long way to Missouri 
B7        Em 
From this highway 
Am       D 
East of Roanoke 
G        C 
We had a moment 
D              G 
That felt like summer 
B7      Em 
Now in slumber 
Am             D 
I can see your smile 

G             C 
We drive for miles 
D                 G 
Through corporate Ohio 
B7                 Em 
Rest stops in West Virginia 
Am                   D 
Traffic in Washington DC 

    G 
But of all the scenes that I see 
      F 
Played out this window to the left of me 
Em                   Cm 
The thought of you it shines 
G   C   C/B   Am   D         G 
The band plays on, I keep the time 

G               C 
We play in the night time 
D            G 
Awake before sunrise 
B7                  Em 
Wipe the sleep from my eyes 
Am             D 
Coffee my best friend 
G                 C 
You dance between classes 
D                 G 
Complete difficult assignments 
B7               Em 
Wonder where the time went 
Am                     D 
Out drinking with your friends 

G              C 
We see a lot of beauty 
D            G 
Some becomes ordinary 
B7                         Em 
Mountains, and canyons, and prairies 
Am                    D 
Sunset over Chesapeake Bay 
G          C 
Dear, dear Carla 
D                  G 
It's only that I'm askin' 
B7                         Em 
Make time more easy for the passin' 
Am                        D 
If I knew I would see you again 

   G                       
Of all the beauty that I see 
   F 
Out this window to the left of me 
Em                      Cm 
The thought of you it shines 
G   C    C/B   Am  D          G 
The band plays on, I keep the time 
    C    C/B Am     D           G 
The time is marked, between the lines 
   C C/B Am   D          G 
Hmmm...       I keep the time
