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 F

the radio shouted out one of those songs that might just change your life

It went like this:

D G A

"Checkin' in checkin' out

D G A D Bm

Making love I like watching all your fireworks

G A E

I like it when I light those stars in your eyes

G C D

Just like fireworks in the sky"

Yes it did.

Throwing some poems to the ports and docks

D C G

They were sleeping outdoors puching all their luck

They sent me a letter full of pills and thrills

D C

Then they both got rich and moved to Hollywood Hills.

C A#m G

Yea they made lots of money playing folk guitar

C A#m G F

Cos everywhere the boys went 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 E C#m

Making love I like watching all your fireworks

A B F#

I like it when I light those 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
