Patio Lanterns

by Kim Mitchell

Intro Chords: Asus A Asus D E

A
Our house  had the biggest patio
                             D Dsus D           A
Our house had all the summer shade We had patio lanterns
A
I'd spend half the night making lemonade
                                           D Dsus D
Which we drank a lot 'cause we were all so shy
        A
Shy and nervous

--Pre-Chorus
  E            
  Who was gonna be
  D
  Who would be the first to dance
  E            
  Who was gonna be
  D                                                A
  Who would be the first to kiss Under those patio lanterns

 |-----CHORUS
 |  E
 |  Those patio lanterns
 |                 D            A
 |  They were the stars in the sky
 |  E
 |  Those patio lanterns
 |  D                A
 |  Lighting up our lives
 |  E
 |  Those patio lanterns
 |                D             A
 |  They were the stars in the sky
 |  E
 |  Those patio lanterns
 |                   D (hold)
 |  Lighting up our lives Oh those patio lanterns

And I was stuck on Joy (that was her name)
We didn't talk much. She was a nervous girl
I was a nervous boy
We stuck together like glue on glue
Dancing  an old song Bobby vinton's blue on blue
Heartache on heartache

E            
Who was gonna be
D
Who would be the first to dance
E            
Who was gonna be
D                                                A
Who would be the first to kiss Under those patio lanterns

CHORUS then repeat opening chords and end on A
