[Intro]
Am G C G Am
[Verse 1]
I met her up in GHelena, at the state mental
Amhospital.
She was put there by a Gjudge, boys, I was put
there by the Amsame.
Just one look into her Cgreen eyes, Catalina she was Amall mine.
She told me of her Gparadise, called it
Resurrection AmBay.
[Verse 2]
We both knew we were Gcured, no matter about
the judges Amword.
On that first day of Gsummer, we made our
Amescape.
Running through that CJune night, with them
stars as our Amonly light.
She said that every star that Gfalls, boy, lands in
Resurrection AmBay.
[Verse 3]
So me and GCatalina, we hitchhiked to AmAlaska.
All through them Gdrunken forests, up that
Alcan AmHighway.
Made it down to the CKenai, on the 4th of AmJuly.
Made love under the Gexploding skies of
Resurrection AmBay.
[Bridge #1]
Am G C G Am
[Verse 4]
But Catalina was a Gstrange girl, not long for
this Amworld.
Why they"d put her up in GHelena, she would
not Amsay.
She was in love with that Cwater, like a mother
to a Amdaughter.
I watched her smiling face go Gunder, from the
shores of Resurrection AmBay.
[Bridge #2]
Am G C G Am
[Verse 5]
Now I ain"t nothing but a Gstranger moving
south through your Amcountry.
I"ve been eating from your Gorange groves I"ve
been sleeping through your Amdays.
At night I watch the Cblack sky, see them stars
go Amshooting by.
I know that every star that Gfalls lands in
Resurrection AmBay.

[Intro]

Am G C G Am

[Verse 1]

I met her up in Helena, at the state mental

hospital.

She was put there by a judge, boys, I was put

there by the same.

C Am

Just one look into her green eyes, Catalina she was all mine.

She told me of her paradise, called it

Resurrection Bay.

[Verse 2]

We both knew we were cured, no matter about

the judges word.

On that first day of summer, we made our

escape.

Running through that June night, with them

stars as our only light.

She said that every star that falls, boy, lands in

Resurrection Bay.

[Verse 3]

G Am

So me and Catalina, we hitchhiked to Alaska.

All through them drunken forests, up that

Alcan Highway.

C Am

Made it down to the Kenai, on the 4th of July.

Made love under the exploding skies of

Resurrection Bay.

[Bridge #1]

Am G C G Am

[Verse 4]

But Catalina was a strange girl, not long for

this world.

Why they"d put her up in Helena, she would

not say.

She was in love with that water, like a mother

to a daughter.

I watched her smiling face go under, from the

shores of Resurrection Bay.

[Bridge #2]

Am G C G Am

[Verse 5]

Now I ain"t nothing but a stranger moving

south through your country.

I"ve been eating from your orange groves I"ve

been sleeping through your days.

At night I watch the black sky, see them stars

go shooting by.

I know that every star that falls lands in

Resurrection Bay.
