Chords with lyrics

Capo on 1st fret.**


INTRO D MajorD B minorBm G+G


VERSE I

D MajorD               B minorBm
We counted the stars on the fourth of July,
G+G                A augmentedA
Wishin' we were rockets burstin into the sky.
D MajorD                B minorBm
Talkin' about the redemption...leavin' things behind,
    G+G          A augmentedA         D MajorD   B minorBm  G+G  A augmentedA
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line.

D MajorD                  B minorBm
As fierce as Monday mornin' feelin' washed away
G+G             A augmentedA
I orchestrated paradise but couldn't make you stay.
D MajorD                  B minorBm
You dance with horses, through the sands of time
    G+G           A augmentedA         D MajorD
As the sun sinks west of the Mendocino county line.

CHORUS

G+G                       A augmentedA
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
             G+G               A augmentedA
To remind me of a time. These pictures and these photographs
            G+G               B minorBm
Let me know I'm doing fine. I used to make you happy once
           G+G          A augmentedA         D MajorD  B minorBm  G+G  A augmentedA
Upon a time but the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line.


VERSE II
D MajorD               B minorBm
The two of us together, felt nothing but right
G+G              A augmentedA
Feelin' near immortal every Friday night.
D MajorD               B minorBm
Lost in our convictions, lips stained with wine
    G+G          A augmentedA        D MajorD
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line.

CHORUS II

G+G                       A augmentedA
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
             G+G               A augmentedA
To remind me of a time. These pictures and these photographs
            G+G               B minorBm
Let me know I'm doing fine. I used to make you happy once
           G+G          A augmentedA         D MajorD
Upon a time but the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line.

BRIDGE

C majorC                 G+G
I don't talk to you too much these days
C majorC                   D MajorD
I just thank the Lord pictures don't fade
C majorC          G+G
I spent with an angel just passing through
A augmentedA
Now all that's left is this image of you.

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
G+G   A augmentedA   G+G   A augmentedA  B minorBm  A augmentedA  G+G

VERSE III

D MajorD               B minorBm
We counted the stars on the fourth of July,
G+G                A augmentedA
Wishin' we were rockets burstin into the sky.
D MajorD                B minorBm
Talkin' about the redemption...leavin' things behind

REPEAT CHORUS

B minorBm      G+G          A augmentedA         D MajorD    B minorBm  G+G
  But the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line,
A augmentedA         D MajorD B minorBm G+G   A augmentedA        D MajorD
Mendocino county line, oh the Mendocino county line.

TAG on D, Bm, G+G and A augmentedA until the end.
