                G
I met her up in Helena, at the state mental
Am
hospital.
                       G
She was put there by a judge, boys, I was put
             Am
there by the same.
                       C                            Am
Just one look into her green eyes, Catalina she was all mine.
                   G
She told me of her paradise, called it
             Am
Resurrection Bay.

[Verse 2]
                     G
We both knew we were cured, no matter about
           Am
the judges word.
                     G
On that first day of summer, we made our
Am
escape.
                     C
Running through that June night, with them
             Am
stars as our only light.
                              G
She said that every star that falls, boy, lands in
             Am
Resurrection Bay.

[Verse 3]
          G                          Am
So me and Catalina, we hitchhiked to Alaska.
                 G
All through them drunken forests, up that
      Am
Alcan Highway.
                    C                    Am
Made it down to the Kenai, on the 4th of July.
                    G
Made love under the exploding skies of
             Am
Resurrection Bay.

                   G
But Catalina was a strange girl, not long for
     Am
this world.
                         G
Why they"d put her up in Helena, she would
    Am
not say.
                          C
She was in love with that water, like a mother
     Am
to a daughter.
                              G
I watched her smiling face go under, from the
                       Am
shores of Resurrection Bay.

                          G
Now I ain"t nothing but a stranger moving
                   Am
south through your country.
                           G
I"ve been eating from your orange groves I"ve
                           Am
been sleeping through your days.
                     C
At night I watch the black sky, see them stars
   Am
go shooting by.
                            G
I know that every star that falls lands in
             Am
Resurrection Bay.
