G
He had a freezer full of bomb pops, Push ups,
C
drum sticks and dreamcicles
G
And a paint chipped change box full of
C
sticky quarters, dimes and nickles
Em                        A7
It was automatic when you heard that song
     C                        D7
Run home and get your money before he's gone

G
Lookin' underneath the Chrysler in the driveway
C
Hey, dad what ya doin'
G
The smell of summer twilight
               C
There's always somebody barbeque'n
Em                      A7
Truth or dare with the kids on our road
C                       D7
Hide and seek till your mama calls you home


[Chorus]
G    G/C   G              D      C
Sweet summer, yeah I remember that
G   D/F#  Am   G      C
Sweet summer, let me take you back

[Verse]
G
Both our moms were best friends
            C
And she was the youngest of three daughters
G
An angel on a pink Schwinn, my first crush
C
To this day I ain't forgot her
Em
Those days were never too long
A
And never too hot
C
Even though I was out of school
D7
I was learnin' a lot


[Chorus]
G    G/C   G              D      C
Sweet summer, yeah I remember that
G   D/F#  Am   G      C
Sweet summer, let me take you back


[Bridge]
D                      C         G
There's not a day that I don't remember
          D                  E              A      A/D
From the end of May to the first of September


[Chorus]
G    G/C   G              D      C
Sweet summer, yeah I remember that
G   D/F#  Am   G      C
Sweet summer, let me take you back
