C              G7                     F                    C 
I was only eighteen in a ducktail and jeans when he had to go 

                 G7                        F                 G7 
We spent so many nights me and Jim and the lights from my radio 

F       G7          F              C 
I never knew him or once shook his hand  

F                            G7 
But sometimes I think he was my closest friend 


      F           G7          C 
I can stand at my window some nights 

       F             G7            C 
With a soft southern breeze gently blowing 

  F           G7              C           Am 
I know deep inside he’s still shining somewhere 

F             G7                C 
Out where the bright lights are glowing 


                 G7            F                         C 
When love let me down Jim was around to share those four walls 

                  G7              F                   G7 
But then he went away one fateful day and saddened us all 

F                 G7        F           C 
The headline that morning I remember it yet 

F                   G7 
He’ll never be that easy to forget 


      F           G7          C 
I can stand at my window some nights 

       F             G7            C 
With a soft southern breeze gently blowing 

  F           G7              C           Am 
I know deep inside he’s still shining somewhere 

F             G7                C 
Out where the bright lights are glowing 


F             G7                C 
Out where the bright lights are glowing
