[B]
[E] [B] She left Dallas for [E] California with [B] an old friend at her side.
[E] Well, it did [B] not say much, but one [E] year later he'd [B] ask her to be [E] his wife.
[B] And the lights of L [E].A. County, they looked [B] like diamonds in [E] the sky.
When [B] you're driving through [E] the hours with [B] an old friend at [E] your side.
Well, one [B] year later I [E] left Houston with [B] an old friend at [E] my side.
Well, it did [B] not say much, but it was [E] the beauty of [B] a cold black [E] 45.
[B] And the lights of L [E].A. County, they looked [B] like diamonds [E] in the sky.
When [B] you're driving through [E] the hours with [B] an old friend at [E] your side.
So [B] I drove on all [E] the day long, and [B] I drove on through [E] the night.
And [B] I thought of her [E] waiting for [B] me, his [E] blushing bride.
And [B] the lights of [E] L.A. County, [B] they looked like diamonds in the [E]
sky.
[B] As I drove into [E] the valley with [B] my old friend [E] at my side.
[B] And as she stood there at the altar, all dressed in her gown of white.
Lord, her face was bright as the stars were shining like I had dreamed of all [Em] my [B] life.
[E] And they [B] kissed each other, and they [E] turned around and they [B] saw me standing in the aisle.
[E] Well, it [B] did not say much, I just [E] stood there watching as that [F#] 45 told [B] a good lie.
And the lights [E] of [B] L.A. County, they looked like [F#] diamonds [B] in the sky.
When [E] you're kneeling [B] at the altar with [F#] an old friend at [B] your side.
[E] And the lights of [B] L.A. County, [F#] are a mighty pretty [B] sight.
When [E] you're kneeling at [B] the altar with [F#] an old friend at [B] your side.
