verse
GNovember of '43
GOn a boat coming 'cross the sea
C/GHe left a D/Gboy, came back a Cman
GShe started running when she saw his face
GIt'd been 655 days
C/GSince she D/Gheld his Chand
EmHe got down on Gone knee
EmAnd he pulled Gout that ring
EmThat he bought in GAberdeen
And when it Dhit that New York sky
It Gshined just like a spotlight
A Amstar up in the night sky
The Ckind of thing that takes your breath away Am Em C D
Her Geyes sparkled like that diamond
With Amlove beaming from 'em
The Ckind of light that's never gonna Dfade
It's gonna Gshine
verse
GFor the next 55 years
GThrough the laughter and the tears
C/GMy grandma D/Calways wore that Cband
GThrough atom bombs and a baby boom
GA Dr. King and a man on the moon
C/GNo it never D/Gleft her Chand
EmOn the day she Gpassed away
EmMama put it on a Gchain
EmNow and then on Gspecial days
Mom would Dhang it on her neck
And it would Gshine just like a spotlight
A Amstar up in the night sky
The Ckind of thing that takes your breath away Am Em C D
Her Geyes sparkled like that diamond
With Amlove beaming from 'em
The Ckind of light that's never gonna Dfade
It's gonna Gshine shine shine
AmShine shine shine, Coh D
BmMama said one of these days
CI know why she Ggave me that ring
AmSittin' here I D/Gknow she was Gright
OhBm, it's not the biggest stone you've ever seen
But Cgirl I can promise Gyou one thing
AmThat for rest ofD your life
It's gonna Gshine just like a spotlight
A Amstar up in the night sky
The Ckind of thing that takes your breath away Am Em C D
Your Geyes sparkled like that diamond
With Amlove beaming from 'em
The Ckind of light that's never, never, neverD gonna fade
It's gonna Gshine, shine, shine
AmShine, shine, shine
CShine, shine, shine
Like a Ambeacon Emcalling me Chome
It's Dgonna Gshine Am
Oh yeah, Cshine, shine, shine D G
