[Verse 1]
E A EShe owned a hotel on the Jersey shore
B EShe made her living sending sailors door to door
E A EHe was the small one with a crooked smile
B EOh, he made her eyes light up like the heavens on the fourth of July
[Verse 2]
E A EShe ran the numbers they say she ran 'em clean
B EThose porcelain hands could keep a ledger even in her sleep
E A EWhile he worked the Seabees in the Philippines
B EThey say she made more money than you or I will ever see
[Chorus]
E A ELove was an anchor on the Jersey shore
B EIf you were looking for love, boys, you could've found it in forty-four
A ECause love wore a halo back before the war
B EWhen the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for

[Verse 3]
E A EIt was in the winter when he came back home
B EHe had to hold those porcelain hands just to keep her warm
A ESo, they had a daughter they named her Stephanie Anne
B EHey, they sent her off to Vassar to find herself a family man
[Verse 4]
E A ENow, she sold the hotel it belongs to me
B EI watch those sailors come and Go like the waves in the seas
A EI've hung their portraits up in the honeyoon suite
B EI hear they're fishin' their lives away in the Florida Keys
[Chorus]
E A ELove was an anchor on the Jersey shore
B EIf you were looking for love, boys, you could've found it in forty-four
A ECause love wore a halo back before the war
B EWhen the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for
A ELove was an anchor on the Jersey shore
B EIf you were looking for love, boys, you could've found it in forty-four
A ECause love wore a halo back before the war
B EWhen the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for
[Outro]
B EWhen the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for
B EWhen the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for
