Intro: F  C  Bb  F
          C      Bb               F
Diane and Billy, been friends forever
               C               Bb         C
They go back a long time, they grew up together
Bb             F            Gm           F
She called to tell us he'd written from Rome
        Bb              F       Bb          C
For the whole month of August, he'd be at home
   F          C          Bb             F
So we went to see him at her house one evening
                          C               Bb          C
In the place where they'd spent all their summers as kids
   Bb           F            Gm             F
We walked all around in the small bay side town
          Bb                F         Bb           C
Where his Dad's called the bingo for thirty-five years
    F             C      Bb         F
And later on that night, under the porch light
       C             Bb              C
Mrs. Pinocci brought her six-string over
    Bb               F                 Gm           F
She said she'd been playing since she turned fifty-seven
    Bb           F               Bb            C
And now I guess she's more than twenty years older
    F             C       Bb             F
She played Yankee Doodle, we sang along with her
               C            Bb            C
She passed it around and we all played a number
Bb              F               Gm         F
Neighbours and friends dropped by for the singing
    Bb       F           Bb             C
And later a guy, no one knew, came to sit in
Bridge:
        Bb           F
For the moon on the water
        Bb              F
For the light from the stars
    Bb           F
Oh, I thank the spirits
    Gm        C
Whatever they are
    Bb                F
For friendships that last
    Dm         C   Bb
And songs from the past
    Gm     C       F
And Mrs. Pinocci's guitar
