 I once new a girl I can't remember 
her name
 But I remember her face cos her 
sister looked the same.

 They both left school, but they 
couldn't find a job
 So they said farewell and stole a 
small town car.

 C            A#m           G
 As they were riding by the beach 
some summer night
     C     A#m           G       
 the radio shouted out one of 
those songs that might just change 
  F
your life

 It went like this:

Continues after the ad
  D        G           A
 "Checkin' in checkin' out
  D      G            A          
  Making love I like watching all
     D            Bm
 your fireworks
            G                  A  
  I like it when I light those 
           E
stars in your eyes
            G       C        D
  Just like fireworks in the sky"

 Yes it did.


 Throwing some poems to the ports 
and docks
 They were sleeping outdoors puching
 D         C      G
 all their luck

 They sent me a letter full of pills
 and thrills
 Then they both got rich and moved 
   D       C
to Hollywood Hills.

 C             A#m           G
 Yea they made lots of money playing
 folk guitar
 C        A#m                 G  
 Cos everywhere the boys went 
                               F
crazy just to hear these words of 
art:

 [CHORUS] as before,
 & harmonica solo: just play D A D A
 throughout

  E        A           B
 "Checkin' in checkin' out   (take 
it to the sky)
  E      A            B          
  Making love I like watching all
     E            C#m
 your fireworks
            A                  B  
  I like it when I light those 
           F#
stars in your eyes
            A       D        E
  Just like fireworks in the sky"

 They're coming to get you
 They're coming to get you now   
(right now)
 Coming to get you now
