[D] _ [G] By the light of the moon [C] to a fifties tune [G] He pledged his love to her
[C] A _ [G] _ girl so rare, a [C] girl so fair _ [G] A girl for him for sure
[C] _
He _ [G] could see himself getting up [C] every morning for the rest of his life
[G] Just to look in those eyes so blue [C] _
It _ [G] was all he ever wanted to do
[C]
She _ _ [G] was all he'd ever need to [C] see him _ [G] through
Yeah, _ _ [F] _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] they were still in their teens [C] when he gave her the room
[G] They were married late one [C] night And _ [G] they moved into a little place [C] on the
far end of town Out [G] by the big highway _
[C] _ _ _ [G] And all through the day [C] The _ _ [G] cars and the trucks would hold on by
[C] _ _ _ [G] And he slept through it all just [C] fine _ _ _ [G] Every night he slept just [C] fine
_ _ _ _ Sometimes she'd stare at the stars out the window
_ [Bm] Sometimes she'd walk beneath the moon _ _ _ [C] Sometimes she'd sit there just watching him
sleep in [D] Hoping the dawn would come soon
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] She'd [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] done well in [C] school, she'd followed the rules
_ [G] But she'd always stood [Dm] out from [C] the rest She'd _ [G] go off to [F] college and [C] work her way
through Then _ [G] move to some big [Dm] city out [C] west
She'd [G] _ had it all [Dm] planned, [C] she'd have a career She'd [G] have all of the things that [Dm] she'd always
[C] lacked _ _ [G] She'd wake up one [Dm] morning on [C] camp
_ _ _ [G] And leave here and [Dm] never look [C] back _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] But she'd never forget [C] the day when he met her
[G] There was something [D] so right in [C] his eyes [G] He was only a child but it seemed [C] so at ease
[G] So youthful and yet so [C] wise And _ [G] he came on so strong
He [C] hit her both balls like [G] a storm, racing out of [C] control
_ _ _ [G] He touched something deep in her [C] soul She _ [G] _ gave in and let herself [C] go
_ _ Most of her friends started soon with no _ [Bm] Not many fought it for last
_ _ _ [C] Most seemed to think they were all wrong for each other
[D] And soon they were past, _ but soon it would [G] pass
But _

[G] He's usually the first to turn in [C] _ Another [G] _ _ day comes to an [C] end
