[Intro]
E [Verse]
E She owned a hotel
A E
on the Jersey shore B She made her living
E
sending sailors door to door E He was the small one
A E
with a crooked smile B Oh, he made her
eyes light up like
E
the heavens on the fourth of July [Verse]
E She ran the numbers they
A E
say she ran 'em clean B Those porcelain hands could
keep a ledger
E
even in her sleep E While he worked the
A E
Seabees in the Philippines B They say she made more money
E
than you or I will ever see [Chorus]
E Love was an anchor on
A E
the Jersey shore B If you were looking for love, boys,
E
you could've found it in forty-four Cause love wore a halo back
A E
before the war B When the men loved the women and
E
the women knew what men were for [Fiddle]
E A
E B E A E B E [Verse]
E It was in the winter
A E
when he came back home B He had to hold those porcelain
E
hands just to keep her warm So, they had a daughter they
A E
named her Stephanie Anne Hey,
B
they sent her off to Vassar to
E
find herself a family man [Verse]
E Now,
A E
she sold the hotel it belongs to me B I watch those sailors come and
E
go like the waves in the seas I've hung their portraits
A E
up in the honeyoon suite B I hear they're fishin'
their lives away in
E
the Florida Keys [Chorus]
E Love was an anchor on
A E
the Jersey shore B If you were looking for love, boys,
E
you could've found it in forty-four Cause love wore a halo back
A E
before the war B When the men loved the women and
E
the women knew what men were for Love was an anchor on
A E
the Jersey shore B If you were looking for love, boys,
E
you could've found it in forty-four Cause love wore a halo back
A E
before the war B When the men loved the women
and the women knew
E
what men were for [Outro] B When the men loved
the women and
the women knew
E
what men were for B When the men loved
the women and
the women knew
E
what men were for
