San Diego Serenade - chords, tab and comments


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
