(G5) (G) (G5) (G) (G5) (G) (C)(G)(D) 2x
Oh it
(G)happened down in Texas, near the (D)town of San Antone,
He was (G)driving (G/F#)to Vir(Em)ginia who would (C)call him on the (D)phone.
She said, (Em)"Sam, I can hardly (Bm)wait
To (C)see the quarter (D)moon on the Golden (G)Gate,(G/F#)(Em)
Oh, to (C)see the quarter (D)moon on the Golden (G)Gate."
-Instr.
like intro, 1x-
Vir(G)ginia's in the bedroom, (D)putting on the dress,
The (G)one she (G/F#)got on (Em)sale today that (C)showed her off the (D)best.
She said, (Em)"Sam, oh don't be (Bm)late,
I want to (C)see the quarter (D)moon on the Golden (G)Gate,(G/F#)(Em)
I want to (C)see the quarter (D)moon on the Golden (G)Gate."
-Instr.
like intro, 1x-
And the (C)rains and winds of (D)Texas sure can (G)blow,
And I've (C)seen the waters (D)run so hard that a (G)man could (G/F#)lose the
(Em)road,
Taking it (D)slow, playing it (Em)safe
On his (C)way to the quarter (D)moon on the Golden (G)Gate,(G/F#)(Em)
On his (C)way to the quarter (D)moon on the Golden (G)Gate.
-Instr.
like intro, 1x-
Oh, (G)it's been fourteen years, maybe (D)fourteen years or more,
(G)She sits (G/F#)by the (Em)window, and a (C)chair beside the (D)door.
And she says, (Em)"Sam, I'll forever (Bm)wait
To (C)see the quarter (D)moon on the Golden (G)Gate,(G/F#)(Em)
To (C)see the quarter (D)moon on the Golden (G)Gate,
Yes, to (C)see the quarter (D)moon on the Golden (G)Gate,(G/F#)(Em)
To (C)see the quarter (D)moon… on the Golden (G)Gate.”
-Instr.
like intro, 2x- (G)
