Chorus:
E F# B E F# B
Somewhere to-night he's a live wire He's got his sights on someone new
E F# B G#m E F#
Somewhere to-night he's a high flyer and I'm so lonesome I don't know
B
what to do.
E F# B
1. I bet he's out there shinin' like a diamond don't you know
E F# B
Turnin' heads and breakin' hearts and puttin' on a show
E F# B E
Rollin' like a summer storm driftin' with the wind (music pause)
F# B
And I just wish he'd blow my way again.
E F# B
2. I must have read that goodbye letter, at least a thousand times
E F# B
He said I was the only one who almost changed his mind
E F# B E
But better homes and gardens parties they weren't his cup of tea (music pause)
F# B
Somewhere tonight he's running wild and free.
