sounds really good!  Just pick this easy pattern for

[Hook]
 
       G             A
I said oh my, what a marvelous tune
           D                          Bm
It was the best night, never would forget how we moved
    G               A
The whole place was dressed to the nines,
            D               Bm
And we were dancing, dancing
                   G        A
Like we're made of starlight
                   D
Like we're made of starlight
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G                                        A
I met Bobby on the boardwalk, summer of '45
G
 Picked me up, late one night at the window
        A
We were 17 and crazy, running wild, wild
G
 Can't remember what song it was playing
        A
When we walked in
                   G
The night we snuck into a yacht club party
              A                  A -once
Pretending to be a duchess and a prince
 
 
[Hook]
 
          G          A
I said oh my, what a marvelous tune
           D                          Bm
It was the best night, never would forget how we moved
    G               A
The whole place was dressed to the nines,
            D               Bm
And we were dancing, dancing
                   G                   A
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
                   D              Bm
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G
He said, look at you worrying so much about 
A
Things you can't change
G
You'll spend your whole life singing the blues
            A
If you keep thinking that way
G                                        A
He was trying to skip rocks on the ocean saying to me
                  G
Don't you see the starlight, starlight?
                A
Don't you dream impossible things?
 
 
[Hook]
 
        G          A
Like oh my, what a marvelous tune
           D                          Bm
It was the best night, never would forget how we moved
    G               A
The whole place was dressed to the nines,
            D               Bm
And we were dancing, dancing
                   G                   A
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
                   D              Bm
Like we're made of starlight, starlight

Have ten kids and teach 'em how to dream
 
G A D Bm
G A D Bm

Like starlight, starlight
                D             Bm
Like we dream impossible dreams
                  G* *once            A*

I think there should be "I met Bobby" instead of "I'm a barbie" and "He said look at you" instead of "He still look at you" :) But btw amazing tab!

In the bridge you have a C that should be Cm but I think it’s just a typo!! Amazing tab!
