Capo at 7th fret
Pre-Verse/Verse/Pre-Chorus: G, Em7, D, Em, G/C, G
Chorus: G/C, G, D
PV:
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
V:
On the second day of June, beneath an almost crescent moon
We played echoes with the fire flies
You were almost seventeen, on the bright side of a dream
Blowing kisses to the paperboy
And the ribbon that we drew, on Magnolia Avenue
Twas September before they washed away
We were driving in the dark, getting lost in Echo Park
Heard Nirvana on the radio
At the tolling of the bell, rays of sunlight morning fell
Clouds cast shadows, on the field below
C:
All my words come tumbling down like violets in your curls
Well maybe it's just this kind of man goes diving for a pearl
Did all my shackles and chains come off I'm welded to the world
PC:
Was that so long ago?
V:
With my ankles in the sand, holding water in my hand
Disappearing in a shallow sea
You were running with balloons, some were yellow some were blue
Tied a message, and you let them go
What I wanted to convey, but it was more than I could say
Was how beautiful I thought that was
You were almost seventeen, on the bright side of a dream
Blowing kisses to the paperboy
C:
All my words come tumbling down like violets in your curls
Well maybe it's just this kind of man goes diving for a pearl
Did all my shackles and chains come off I'm welded to the world
All my leaves come bottoming down my mouth is full of words
Well maybe it's just this kind of man goes diving for a pearl
Did all my wheels and gears come off, I'm welded to the world
Was that so long ago?
Was that so long ago?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
