San Diego Serenade Chords

(ver. 2)
Tom Waits
Tune down half a step

Some of the chords were missing or wrong in the other versions, so I thought I'd submit 
version with some important changes.

Intro

G C D G
G C D G

G        B7                    Em              G7
I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night
C               D                 G       B      
         G
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out the light
C               D                 G       B      
         G
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long
C                 D               C      D G
I never heard the melody, until I needed a song.

G C D G
G C D G

I never saw the white line, 'til I was leaving you behind
I never knew I needed you 'til I was caught up in a bind
I never spoke 'I love you' 'til I cursed you in vain,
I never felt my heartstrings until I nearly went insane.

I never saw the east coast 'til I move to the west
I never saw the moonlight until it shone off your breast
I never saw your heart 'til someone tried to steal, tried to steal it away
I never saw your tears until they rolled down your face.

I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out your love light, baby
I never saw my hometown 'til I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody until I needed the song
