I love this song!!! I also love to play it, and I hope you do, too! Enjoy!
The whole song consists of these chords:
C, G, F, Am, Dm
They say, this town, the stars stay up all night, well I
Don’t know, can’t see ‘um, for the glow of the neon lights– and it’s a
Long way from here to the place where the home fires burn, well it’s
Two thousand miles and one left turn
Dear Mom and Dad, please send money,
I’m so broke that it ain’t funny, well I
Don’t need much– just enough to get me through,
Please don’t worry cause I’m alright
See I’m playin’ here at the bar tonight, well–
This time I’m gonna’ make our dreams come true
Well I love you more than anything in the world–
Love, your baby girl
Black top, blue sky– big town full of little white lies, well
Everybody’s your friend– you can never be sure
They’ll promise fancy cars and diamond rings and
All sorts of shiny things, well
Girl, you’ll remember what your knees are for
Dear Mom and Dad, please send money,
I’m so broke that it ain’t funny, well I
Don’t need much– just enough to get me through,
Please don’t worry cause I’m alright
See I’m playin’ here at the bar tonight, well–
This time I’m gonna’ make our dreams come true
Well I love you more than anything in the world–
Love, your baby girl
I know that I’m on my way… Well, I can tell every time I play
And I know it’s well worth the dues I pay when I can write to you and say…
Dear Mom and Dad, I’ve sent money,
I’m so rich that it ain’t funny, well it
Ought to be more than enough to get you through
Please don’t worry cause I’m alright
See I’m staying here at the Ritz tonight
What’d’ya know, we made our dreams come true
And there are fancy cars and diamond rings but
You know that they don’t mean a thing
Well, they all add up to nothing compared to you
Well, remember me in ribbons and curls…
I still love you more than anything in the world–
Love, your baby girl
Your baby girl
Your baby girl
Dreams come true
