DA7
Summer nights, are under a southern sky
GD
And the Gulf of Mexico would lend us her dreams
A7
That ol brown water like a mirror
G
Of the moonlight yeah night's the best time
D
To be on the beach
CG
It was here I gave your name
D
To a star
Cadd9GD
And I'd pretend each night I knew which one it was
CGD
Well tonight I wish I really could point it out
CG
Cuz that's as close to you as I'm
A
Ever gonna get now
DA7
I'm still drivin that ol, el camino
GD
I still got the blanket behind the seat
A7
I close my eyes and I find myself back there with you
GD
No place in the world, I'd rather be
CG
Back where I gave your name
D
To a star
Cadd9GD
And I'd pretend each night I knew which one it was
CGD
Well tonight I wish I really could point it out
CG
Cuz that's as close to you as I'm
A
Ever gonna get now
Intro x4
D
Well we planned to marry
A7G
Maybe start a family as soon as I pay my dues
D
To Uncle Sam
But two years was too long
A7
I got back you were gone
G
Now I walk alone at night
D
In the sand
CGD
And tonight I gave your name to another star
Cadd9GD
And I never will forget which one it is
CGD
And I'll always wonder where you really are
CGA
But your star is mine even if you are his
