Jimmy quit and Jody got married, I shoulda known we'd never get far.

Couplet:
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 seventeen and she was far from in-between
D C G
It was summer-time in Northern Michigan
D C G
Splashing through the sand-bar, talking by the camp fire,
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 moon light shined upon her hair
Refrein:
D C G
And, we were trying different things we were smoking funny things
D C G
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
D C G
Sipping whisky out the bottle not thinking bout tomorrow
D C G
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
D C G
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Ga Gewoon door met dezelfde akkoorden.
just keep on going with the same chords...
Catching walleye from the dock watching the waves roll off the rocks
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
We blister in the sun we couldn't wait for night to come
To hit that saving place of rock and roll
While, we were trying different things we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whisky out the bottle not thinking bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves begin to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I hear that song and I start to sing along
And think, Man I'd love to see that girl again
And, we were trying different things we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whisky out the bottle not thinking bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
We were trying different things we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whisky out the bottle not thinking bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long (5x)
