          D      C               G
Diane and Billy, been friends forever 
               D               C         D
They go back a long time, they grew up together 
C             G            Am           G  
She called to tell us he'd written from Rome 
        C              G       C          D
For the whole month of August, he'd be at home


   G          D          C             G
So we went to see him at her house one evening 
                          D               C          D
In the place where they'd spent all their summers as kids 
   C           G            Am             G  
We walked all around in the small bay side town 
          C                G         C           D
Where his Dad's called the bingo for thirty-five years


    G             D      C         G
And later on that night, under the porch light 
       D             C              D
Mrs. Pinocci brought her six-string over 
    C               G                 Am           G  
She said she'd been playing since she turned fifty-seven 
    C           G               C            D
And now I guess she's more than twenty years older


    G             D       C             G
She played Yankee Doodle, we sang along with her 
               D            C            D
She passed it around and we all played a number 
C              G               Am         G  
Neighbours and friends dropped by for the singing
    C       G           C             D
And later a guy, no one knew, came to sit in


BRIDGE:
        C           G
For the moon on the water 
        C              G
For the light from the stars 
    C           G
Oh, I thank the spirits 
    Am        D
Whatever they are 
    C                G
For friendships that last 
    Em         D   C
And songs from the past 
    Am     D       G
And Mrs. Pinocci's guitar


INSTRUMENTAL: C  G    C  G    C  G    Am  D    C  G    Em  D  C


    Am   D         G
And Mrs. Pinocci's guitar
