C C Am C
[Verse 1]
C
She grew up on the side of the road
Am
Where the church bells ring and strong love grows
F Dm
She grew up good, She grew up slow
C
Like American honey
C
Steady as a preacher, free as a weed
Am
Couldn't wait to get going but wasn't quite ready to leave
F Dm
So innocent, pure and sweet
C
American honey
[Chorus]
F C Am G
There's a wild, wild whisper blowin' in the wind
F C G
Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
F C Am G
Oh, I miss those days as the years go by
F
Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
C
And American honey
[Verse 2]
C
Get caught in the race of this crazy life
Am
Tryin' to be everything can make you lose your mind
F Dm
I just wanna go back in time
C
To American honey
[Chorus]
F C Am G
There's a wild, wild whisper blowin' in the wind
F C G
Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
F C Am G
Oh, I miss those days as the years go by
F
Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
C
And American honey
[Bridge]
Am G F
Gone for so long now
Em7 Dm
I gotta get back to her somehow
C
To American honey
[Instrumental]
F C Am G F C G
[Chorus]
F C Am G
There's a wild, wild whisper blowin' in the wind
F C G
Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
F C Am G
Oh, I miss those days as the years go by
F
Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
C
And American honey
C
And American honey
