1953

                    F#m       E C#m B F#m E C#m
I found you in the summer heat, of 1953
 B                   F#m         E C#m
Wise words from your father said
   B                    F#m         E
"I know that boy's your brother's friend,
C#m                   B             F#m              E
but I don't think he keeps comin' round for him
C#m         B          A
Again and again and again."

         F#m            E
I had to swim away,
C#m    B              F#m       E      C#m
Semper Fi but I'll be back someday
 B                    F#m       E
I'll take you by the hand and say:
C#m         B          A                B
"Be mine, be mine, be mine."

        E                 C#m                   A
And if someday, you grow tired and your memory fades,
        E             C#m              A
it's alright, I will never leave your side
    E              A            F#m  G#m  A
And oh, when it's time, you can come find me,
 F#m G#m E
in  1953

                            F#m        E
Leave New York and see the countryside
C#m       B         F#m    E
Little city and a bigger life
C#m       B          F#m      E
Watch it grow into a thousand eyes
C#m        B          A
It's ours, it's ours, it's ours
 C#m           B          A
Oh, it's ours, it's ours, it's ours

        E                 C#m                   A
And if someday, you grow tired and your memory fades,
        E             C#m              A
it's alright, I will never leave your side
    E              A            F#m  G#m  A
And oh, when it's time, you can come find me,
 F#m G#m E
in  1953

                     E
It's written in the gold rain
                C#m            B
Passed down the light
                E
Hangin' in the branches
                    C#m       B
You see it in their eyes
                 E
Pressed in the concrete
                  C#m        B
Where we used to reside
                  A      B
It's larger than life

             E           C#m                    A
And if someday, you grow tired and your memory fades,
      E                 C#m         A
it's okay. And when my heart gives away,
        E             C#m              A
it's alright, I will never leave your side
    E              A         F#m  G#m  A
And oh, when it's time, just come find me
  F#m G#m E
in   1953
