Rod Stewart – Brighton Beach (Guitar)

    Cadd9                          G
I remember when you were only seventeen

             Cadd9                             G
You were the finest girl that my eyes had ever seen

                     Em                    C
I guess you found it hard to simply just ignore

                     Em                          C   D
This scruffy beat up working class teenage troubadour

      G                  D                         Em          C
So we fell in love and I toured your heart with my out of tune guitar

         G                  D                Em                C
You were wonderful you were mystical and the envy of all of my friends

           G          D             C                 G
Seems like only yesterday under the stars on Brighton Beach

          Cadd9                          G
Oh what a time it was what a time to be alive

         Cadd9                                     G
Remember Janice and Jimi, Kennedy and King, how we cried

                  Em                C
I sang to you the songs of Ramblin' Jack

               Em                   C   D
You were Greta Garbo and I was Kerouac

       G                     D                       Em         C
And we played so hard and we loved so hard seemed we never ever slept

          G                    D                    Em
They were crazy days they were wonderful days and I loved you with all of my

C
heart

           G          D             C                 G
Seems like only yesterday under the stars on Brighton Beach

Em                            C
Your daddy had plans that did not include me

       Em                         C
And he warned stay away from your door

      Em                            C
And I dreamed how I dreamed I could steal you away

        Am              D
To some far off distant shore

     Cadd9                                 G
Then early one morning I awoke to find you gone

             Cadd9                                      G
You wrote 'I love you baby but it's time for me to move on'

                  Em                          C
And so my teenage heart laid scattered on the floor

                 Em                          C    D
I swear to God I could not have loved you anymore

         G                        D
And as I sit here tonight playing with my kids wondering

Em                    C
Where you are in this world

        G                     D                Em                       C
Did you find your man are you happy now do you ever stop and think about me

      G              D             C                 G
How I long for yesterday under the stars on Brighton Beach
