Capo 4
[Intro]
G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
[Verse 1]
G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
She left Dallas for California with an old friend at her side
G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
Well, they did not say much but one year later he’d asked her to be his wife
[Chorus]
G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
And the lights of LA County, they look like diamonds in the sky
G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
When you’re drivin’ through the hours with an old friend at your side
[Verse 2]
G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
One year later I left Houston with an old friend at my side
G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
Well, he did not say much but it was a beauty of a coal black .45
[Chorus]
G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
And the lights of LA County, they look like diamonds in the sky
G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
When you’re drivin’ through the hours with an old friend at your side
[Verse 3]
G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
So I drove on all the day long and I drove on through the night
G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
and I thought of her awaiting for to be his blushing bride
[Chorus]
G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
And the lights of LA County they look like diamonds in the sky
G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
As I drove in to the valley with my old friend at my side
[Bridge]
G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
And as she stood there at the altar all dressed in her gown of white
G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
Lord, her face was bright as the stars a-shining, like I dreamed of all my life
[Verse 4]
G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
And they kissed each other and they turned around and they saw me standing in the aisle
G6 Cadd9 D G6
Well, I did not say much, I just stood there watching as that .45 told them goodbye
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G6 D G6
And the lights of LA County look like diamonds in the sky
Cadd9 G6 D G6
When you’re kneeling at the altar with an old friend at your side
[Outro]
Cadd9 G6 D G6
And the lights of LA County are a mighty pretty sight
Cadd9 G6 D G6
When you’re kneeling at the altar with an old friend at your side

What's not to like about a song on the merits of road trips, old friends, and premeditated murder?
