[Verse 1]
[G]November of '43
On a boat comin' 'cross the sea
[Em]He left a bo[D]y, came back a man[C]
[G]She started running' when she
saw his face
It'd been [Em]655 days
[D]Since she held [C]his hand
[Em]He got down on o[G]ne knee
[Em]and pulled out that [G]ring
[Em]That he bought in Aber[G]deen
And when it [D]hit that New York sky

[Verse 2]
It [G]shined just like a spotlight
A [Am]star up in the night sky
The [C]kind of thing that takes
your breath [D]away[Em]
[D]Her [G]eyes sparkled like that diamond
With [Am]love beaming from 'em
The [C]kind of light that's never
gonna [D]fade
It's gonna shine
[G]

[Verse 3]
For the next 55 years
Through the laughter and the tears
[Em]My grandma al wa[D]ys fore that[C] band
[G]through atom bombs and a baby boom
Dr. King and a man on the moon
[Em]No it neve[D]r left her h[C]and[D]
[Em]On the day she passe[G]d away[Em]
Mama put it [G]on a chain
[Em]Now and then on special [G]days
Mom [D]would wear it around
her neck

[Verse 4]
And it would [G]shine just like a spotlight
A [Am]star up in the night sky
The [C]kind of thing that takes
your breath [D]away[Em]
[D]Her[G] eyes sparkled like that diamond
With [Am]love beaming from 'em
