Verse 1 Cadd9G I remember when you were only seventeen Cadd9G You were the finest girl that my eyes had ever seen EmC I guess you found it hard to simply just ignore EmCD This scruffy beat up working class teenage troubadour GDEmC So we fell in love and I toured your heart with my out of tune guitar GDEmC You were wonderful you were mystical and the envy of all of my friends GDCG Seems like only yesterday under the stars on Brighton Beach
Verse 2 Cadd9G Oh what a time it was what a time to be alive Cadd9G Remember Janice and Jimmy Kennedy and King how they cried EmC I sang to you the songs of Ramblin' Jack EmCD You were Greta Garbo and I was Karolac GDEmC And we played so hard and we loved so hard seemed we never ever slept GDEm They were crazy days they were wonderful days and I loved you with all of my C heart GDCG Seems like only yesterday under the stars on Brighton Beach
Bridge EmC Your daddy had plans that did not include me EmC And he won't stay away from your door EmC And I dreamed how I dreamed I could steal you away AmD To some far off distant shore
Verse 3 Cadd9G Then early one morning I awoke to find you gone Cadd9G You wrote 'I love you baby but it's time for me to move on' EmC And so my teenage heart laid scattered on the floor EmCD I swear to God I could not have loved you anymore GD And as I sit here tonight playing with my kids wondering EmC Where you are in this world GDEmC Did you find your man are you happy now do you ever stop and think about me GDCG How I long for yesterday under the stars on Brighton Beach
