INTRO  D  Bm  G 
VERSE I 
D                             Bm 
We counted the stars on the fourth of July, 
G                               A 
Wishin' we were rockets burstin into the sky. 
D                               Bm 
Talkin' about the redemption...leavin' things behind, 
        G                   A              D      Bm   G    A           
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line. 
 

D                                    Bm 
As fierce as Monday mornin' feelin' washed away 
G                          A 
I orchestrated paradise but couldn't make you stay. 
D                                   Bm 
You dance with horses, through the sands of time 
       G                     A                 D 
As the sun sinks west of the Mendocino county line. 
G                                             A 
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs 
                          G                             A 
To remind me of a time. These pictures and these photographs 
                       G                              Bm 
Let me know I'm doing fine. I used to make you happy once 
                     G                   A                 D    Bm    G    A 
Upon a time but the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line.  

VERSE II 
 

D                             Bm 
The two of us together, felt nothing but right 
G                            A 
Feelin' near immortal every Friday night. 
D                              Bm 
Lost in our convictions, lips stained with wine 
        G                    A                D 
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line. 

 II 
G                                             A 
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs 
                          G                             A 
To remind me of a time. These pictures and these photographs 
                       G                              Bm 
Let me know I'm doing fine. I used to make you happy once 
                     G                   A                 D 
Upon a time but the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line.  

BRIDGE 
C                                  G 
I don't talk to you too much these days 
C                                     D 
I just thank the Lord pictures don't fade 
C                    G 
I spent with an angel just passing through 
A 
Now all that's left is this image of you.

We counted the stars on the fourth of July, 
G                               A 
Wishin' we were rockets burstin into the sky. 
D                               Bm 
Talkin' about the redemption...leavin' things behind

Bm           G                   A                 D       Bm   G 
    But the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line, 
A                 D  Bm G      A                D     
Mendocino county line, oh the Mendocino county line.
