Verse 1
  Cadd9Cadd9             G+G
I remember when you were only seventeen
       Cadd9Cadd9               G+G
You were the finest girl that my eyes had ever seen
           E minorEm          C majorC
I guess you found it hard to simply just ignore
           E minorEm             C majorC  D MajorD
This scruffy beat up working class teenage troubadour
   G+G         D MajorD             E minorEm     C majorC
So we fell in love and I toured your heart with my out of tune guitar
     G+G         D MajorD        E minorEm        C majorC
You were wonderful you were mystical and the envy of all of my friends
      G+G     D MajorD       C majorC         G+G
Seems like only yesterday under the stars on Brighton Beach

Verse 2
     Cadd9Cadd9             G+G
Oh what a time it was what a time to be alive
     Cadd9Cadd9                   G+G
Remember Janice and Jimmy Kennedy and King how they cried
         E minorEm        C majorC
I sang to you the songs of Ramblin' Jack
        E minorEm         C majorC  D MajorD
You were Greta Garbo and I was Karolac
    G+G           D MajorD            E minorEm     C majorC
And we played so hard and we loved so hard seemed we never ever slept
     G+G          D MajorD          E minorEm
They were crazy days they were wonderful days and I loved you with all of my
C majorC
heart
      G+G     D MajorD       C majorC         G+G
Seems like only yesterday under the stars on Brighton Beach

Bridge
E minorEm              C majorC
Your daddy had plans that did not include me
    E minorEm            C majorC
And he won't stay away from your door
   E minorEm              C majorC
And I dreamed how I dreamed I could steal you away
    A minorAm       D MajorD
To some far off distant shore

Verse 3
   Cadd9Cadd9                 G+G
Then early one morning I awoke to find you gone
       Cadd9Cadd9                   G+G
You wrote 'I love you baby but it's time for me to move on'
         E minorEm             C majorC
And so my teenage heart laid scattered on the floor
         E minorEm             C majorC  D MajorD
I swear to God I could not have loved you anymore
     G+G            D MajorD
And as I sit here tonight playing with my kids wondering
E minorEm          C majorC
Where you are in this world
    G+G           D MajorD        E minorEm            C majorC
Did you find your man are you happy now do you ever stop and think about me
   G+G       D MajorD       C majorC         G+G
How I long for yesterday under the stars on Brighton Beach
