[Intro]
[D] [C] [G]
[Verse]
It was [D]198[C]1989, my thoughts were [G]short my hair was long
[D]Caught somewhere be[C]between a boy and [G]man
[D]She was 1[C]17 and she was [G]far from in between
It was [D]summertime in [C]Northern [G]Michigan
[Instrumental]
[D] [C] [G]
[Verse]
Spl[D]Splashin' thru the [C]sandbar, t[G]talkin' by the campfire
It's the s[D]imple things in l[C]ife like when and w[G]here
We d[D]didn't have no [C]internet, but [G]man I never will forget
The [D]way the moonlight [C]shined upon her [G]hair
[Chorus]
And we were [D]tryin' different [C]things and we were [G]smokin' funny things
Makin' [D]love out by the [C]lake to our favorite [G]songs
Sippin' [D]whisky out the [C]bottle not [G]thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
Singin' [D]sweet home ala[C]alabama all [G]summer long [D] [C] [G]
Singin' [D]sweet home ala[C]alabama all [G]summer long
[Verse]
Catchin' [D]walleye from the [C]dock watchin' [G]waves roll off the rocks
She'll for[D]ever hold a sp[C]ot inside my s[G]oul
We'd b[D]blister in the [C]sun we couldn't [G]wait for night to come
To [D]hit that sandy [C]place of rock 'n [G]roll
[Chorus]
And we were [D]tryin' different [C]things and we were [G]smokin' funny things
Makin' [D]love out by the [C]lake to our favorite [G]songs
Sippin' [D]whisky out the [C]bottle not [G]thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
Singin' [D]sweet home ala[C]alabama all [G]summer long [D] [C] [G]
Singin' [D]sweet home ala[C]alabama all [G]summer long
[Solo]
[Verse]
Now [D]nothin' seems as [C]strange as when the [G]leaves began to change
Oh [D]how we thought those [C]days would never [G]end
Some[D]Sometimes I hear that [C]song and I'll [G]start to sing along
And think [D]man I'd like to [C]see that girl ag[G]again
[Chorus]
And we were [D]tryin' different [C]things and we were [G]smokin' funny things
Makin' [D]love out by the [C]lake to our favorite [G]songs
Sippin' [D]whisky out the [C]bottle not [G]thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
Singin' [D]sweet home ala[C]alabama all [G]summer long [D] [C] [G]
Singin' [D]sweet home ala[C]alabama all [G]summer long
And we were [D]tryin' different [C]things and we were [G]smokin' funny things
Makin' [D]love out by the [C]lake to our favorite [G]songs
Sippin' [D]whisky out the [C]bottle not [G]thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
Singin' [D]sweet home ala[C]alabama all [G]summer long [D] [C] [G]
Singin' [D]sweet home ala[C]alabama all [G]summer long
