[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E A E
She owned a hotel on the Jersey shore
B E
She made her living sending sailors door to door
E A E
He was the small one with a crooked smile
B E
Oh, he made her eyes light up like the heavens on the fourth of July
[Verse 2]
E A E
She ran the numbers they say she ran 'em clean
B E
Those porcelain hands could keep a ledger even in her sleep
E A E
While he worked the Seabees in the Philippines
B E
They say she made more money than you or I will ever see
[Chorus]
E A E
Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore
B E
If you were looking for love, boys, you could've found it in forty-four
A E
Cause love wore a halo back before the war
B E
When the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for
[Fiddle & Accordion Solo]
E A E B E
A E B E
[Verse 3]
E A E
It was in the winter when he came back home
B E
He had to hold those porcelain hands just to keep her warm
A E
So, they had a daughter they named her Stephanie Anne
B E
Hey, they sent her off to Vassar to find herself a family man
[Verse 4]
E A E
Now, she sold the hotel it belongs to me
B E
I watch those sailors come and go like the waves in the seas
A E
I've hung their portraits up in the honeyoon suite
B E
I hear they're fishin' their lives away in the Florida Keys
[Chorus]
E A E
Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore
B E
If you were looking for love, boys, you could've found it in forty-four
A E
Cause love wore a halo back before the war
B E
When the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for
A E
Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore
B E
If you were looking for love, boys, you could've found it in forty-four
A E
Cause love wore a halo back before the war
B E
When the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for
[Outro]
B E
When the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for
B E
When the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for
