A
Doll Squad's at the drive-in
     F#m              A  
It's nineteen-seventy-three
        F#m                                    Bm
And the fruit is full and fat this year on the orange trees
              D
Which grow in clusters
         A
The city sixty miles away
        D                             E
And the sunlight tries desperately to break through the gray
        D               E           A     F#m
And the starlight shown down, royal blue
       D             E                 A
As the San Bernadino sky showered over you

A                    E
Coming home early is always a mistake
             F#m                        C#m
But when you see that woman on the sofa something in you breaks
             D                     A
You've got a celluloid tendency to flare out and blaze
         E
When the report sounds once like a failed hymn of praise
        D               E           A     F#m
And the starlight shown down, royal blue
       D             E                 A
As the San Bernadino sky showered over you
