San Diego Serenade - chords, tab and comments
At the bottom you'll find a link to the complete lyrics.
Second track on Waits' second album "The Heart of Saturday Night", Asylum -74. Among a few other artists, Celine Dion and Nancy Griffith have covered it, but I stick to the original. A beautiful song about not knowing what to lose until it is lost.
E Emaj7 C#m E7
never saw the morning till I stayed up all night
A B7 E C#m
never saw the sunshine till you turned out the light
A B7 C#m C#7
never saw my hometown till I stayed away too long
A B7 A E
never heard the melody till I needed the song
