Verse 1
    Cadd9                          GI remember when you were only seventeen
             Cadd9                             GYou were the finest girl that my eyes had ever seen
                     Em                    CI guess you found it hard to simply just ignore
                     Em                          C   DThis scruffy beat up working class teenage troubadour
      G                  D                         Em
    CSo we fell in love and I toured your heart with my out of tune guitar
         G                  D                Em
 CYou were wonderful you were mystical and the envy of all of my friends
           G          D             C                 GSeems like only yesterday under the stars on Brighton Beach

Verse 2
          Cadd9                          GOh what a time it was what a time to be alive
         Cadd9                                      GRemember Janice and Jimmy Kennedy and King how they cried
                  Em                CI sang to you the songs of Ramblin' Jack
               Em                  C   DYou were Greta Garbo and I was Karolac
       G                     D                       Em
  CAnd we played so hard and we loved so hard seemed we never ever slept
          G                    D                    EmThey were crazy days they were wonderful days and I loved you with all of my
Cheart
           G          D             C                 GSeems like only yesterday under the stars on Brighton Beach

Bridge
Em                            CYour daddy had plans that did not include me
       Em                        CAnd he won't stay away from your door
      Em                            CAnd I dreamed how I dreamed I could steal you away
        Am              DTo some far off distant shore

Verse 3
     Cadd9                                 GThen early one morning I awoke to find you gone
             Cadd9                                      GYou wrote 'I love you baby but it's time for me to move on'
                  Em                          CAnd so my teenage heart laid scattered on the floor
                 Em                          C    DI swear to God I could not have loved you anymore
         G                        DAnd as I sit here tonight playing with my kids wondering
Em                    CWhere you are in this world
        G                     D                Em
           CDid you find your man are you happy now do you ever stop and think about me
      G              D             C                 GHow I long for yesterday under the stars on Brighton Beach
