       Em7             C
On the second day of June
           G
Beneath an almost crescent moon
         Em               C   G
We played echoes with the fireflies
        Em7        C
You were almost 17
       D
On the bright side of a dream
        Em            C    G
Blowing kisses to the paperboy
      Em7                 C
And a ribbon that we drew
   D
On Magnolia Avenue
       Em                 C    
Was September before they washed 
   G
away
        Em7                C
We were driving in the dark
        D
Getting lost in Echo Park
           Em7            C    G
Heard the 'elujahs on the radio
       Em7              C
At the tolling of a bell
             D
With rays of sunlight, morning fell
            Em7            C    
Clouds cast shadows on the fields 
   G
below
C
All my words come tumbling down
Continues after the ad
     G                 D
Like violets in your curls
    C
Oh, maybe it's just this kind of man
          G              D
That goes diving for a pearl
     C
'Til all my shackles and chains come
 off
    G                D
I'm welded to the world
Em7 C    D  Em   C G
Was that so long ago?

        Em                C
With my ankles in the sand
        D
Holding water in my hand
    Em7                 C        G
Disappearing beneath the shallow sea
         Em7                  C
You were running with balloons
          D
Some were yellow, some were blue
       Em              C        G
Tied a message and you let them go
       Em7             C
What I wanted to convey
               D
When there was more than I could say
G       Em7         C            G
Was how beautiful I thought that was
Em7               C
You were almost 17
       D
On the bright side of a dream
G       Em            C    G
Blowing kisses to the paperboy
C
All my words come tumbling down
     G               D
Like violets in your curls
    C
Oh, maybe it's just this just this 
kind of man
          G            D
That goes diving for a pearl
     C
'Til all my shackles and chains come
 off
    G             D
I'm welded to the world
C
All my leaves come autumning down
     G                  D
Like mountains full of birds
C
Maybe it's just this just this kind 
of man
          G             D
That goes diving for a pearl
     C
'Til all my wheels and gears come 
off
    G                D
I'm welded to the world
Em  C    D  Em   C G
Was that so long ago?
Em  C    D  Em   C G
Was that so long ago?
