Intro: D  C  G
   
D        C                   G
It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long  
D                  C               G
Caught somewhere between a boy and man  
D        C             G
She was 17 and she was far from in between  
       D             C        G
It was summertime in Northern Michigan  

(Intro)

   D               C         G
Splashin' thru the sandbar, talkin' by the campfire  
          D                C                  G
It's the simple things in life like when and where  
    D             C             G
We didn't have no internet, but man I never will forget  
    D                 C               G
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair  

            D                C                  G
And we were tryin' different things and we were smokin' funny things  
       D               C                    G
Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite songs  
        D              C          G
Sippin' whisky out the bottle not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow  
        D             C        G            D  C  G
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long  
        D             C        G
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long   

         D                C             G
Catchin' walleye from the dock watchin' waves roll off the rocks  
          D             C             G
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul  
      D             C               G
We'd blister in the sun we couldn't wait for night to come  
   D                 C         G
To hit that sand and play some rock 'n roll  

(Refrão)

(Solo)

    D                C                   G
Now nothin' seems as strange as when the leaves began to change  
   D                    C                G
Oh how we thought those days would never end  
    D                 C             G
Sometimes I hear that song and I'll start to sing along  
          D               C               G
And think man I'd like to see that girl again  

(Refrão 2x)
