G
About this time of evening, out by the bay
G
They turn the roadlights on the bridge
G
Well, a diesel rolls in silhouette, eastbound
G Am G Am
Lovers glad the sun has set
G Am G Em D Am G Am G Am G Em D
I'm staring into twilight
D* (5th pos with bass notes A B C B) x2
Wishing I could find someone tonight
Chorus:
G G F C
I know she's out there somewhere
G G F C
On the western skyline
G G F C
Lonely women say a prayer
G G F C
On the western skyline
The rooftops sag on Second Street
Bachelor's quarters
Too much fun, not enough dough
Well, the kite's still hanging on the wire
Waiting on the wind
Too many dreams, not enough hope
Voices on my radio
Telling me where I should go
Chorus
[Solo over Chorus Chords]
BRIDGE:
Am
They'll set up on the bandstand
G
When the sailors hear the whistle blow
Am
Underneath the streetlight
F EM D* (5th pos with bass notes A B C B)
Violence in the afterglow
Give me a shiny Cadillac
And close your eyes past that city limits sign
Well, he's got the admiral's daughter
He's got her in the back
Trying to cross her battle line
As I'm staring into twilight
Wishing I could be with her tonight
Chorus + Outro
