[E]
[B]
She left Dallas, oh, California
With an old friend at her [B] side
Well, he did not say much
One year [E] later
He'd ask her to be [E] his wife
And [B] the lights of [E] LA County
They look [B] like diamonds in the sky
When you're driving through [E] the hours
[B] With an old friend [E] at your side
One [B] year later
[E] I left Houston
[B] With an old friend [E] at my side
Well, he did [B] not say much
But it [E] was the beauty
[B] Of a cold black [E]
45
And [B] the lights of [E] LA County
They look [B] like diamonds in the sky
When you're driving [E] through the hours
[B] With an old friend [E] at your side
So [B] I drove on all day long
And I drove on in the pure night
And I thought of [E] her waiting
[B] For me as the [E]
shadow
And [B] the lights of [E] LA County
They [B] look like diamonds in [E] the sky
As I [B] drove into the valley
With my old friend at my side
And as she [B] stood there [E] at the altar
[B] All dressed in her gown of white
Lord, her face was bright
And the [E] stars were shining
Like [Bm] I'd dreamed of [B] all my life
[F#] And they kissed [B] each other
And they [E] turned around
And they [B] saw me standing [E] in the aisle
Well, I did not [B] say much
I [E] just stood there watching
As that [F#] 45 drove [B] by
[E] And the lights of [B] LA County
They [F#] look like diamonds [B] in the sky
[E] When you're kneeling [B] at the altar
With [F#] that old friend at [B] your side
[E] And the lights of [B] LA County
Are [F#] a mighty [B] pretty sight
When [E] you're kneeling at [B] the altar
With [F#] that old friend at [B] your side
[B]
