E                       B 
Do you remember back in high school 
A         E 
Had a 57' Chevrolet 
E               B 
17 and breaking all the rules 
A                       E 
Man those had to be the good old days 
 
B                     
Friday night driving down ole China Road 
A            E 
6 pack and a bottle of wine 
B                
Lookin for a little stretch of lonely road 
A               B 
I was yours and you were mine 
 

CHORUS: (Abm = A flat minor) 
 
                  E 
Drivin down those Backroads of Summer 
        Abm                                 
Back in 1969 
        A  
We were young and crazier than ever 
               B 
That's when we laid it all on the line 
                  E 
Girl you know I'd do it all over 
            Abm 
If you were sitting there by my side 
                  A 
Drivin down those Backroads of Summer 
         B            E 
Let's go back there tonight. 
------------------ 
 
E                     B 
Down at the all night drive in 
A                 E 
Parked out in the very next row 
E                         B 
Hard to keep the car from rockin 
A                        E 
Instead of watching that picture show 
 
B  
Sunday we'd head down ol' 59 
A                   E 
Take a drive to the ol' half moon 
B   
Get an ice cream cone for a dime 
A                          B 
That's how we spent Sunday afternoon
