[Intro]
C# B F# F# 4x
[Verse]
C# B F#
It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
C# B F#
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
C# B F#
She was 17 and she was far from in between
C# B F#
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
[Interlude]
C# B F# F# 2x
Ahh, ahh
[Verse]
C# B F#
Splashin' thru the sandbar, talkin' by the campfire
C# B F#
It's the simple things in life like when and where
C# B F#
We didn't have no internet, but man I never will forget
C# B F#
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair
[Chorus]
C# B
And we were tryin' different things
F#
and we were smokin' funny things
C# B F#
Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite songs
C# B F#
Sippin' whisky out the bottle not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
C# B F# C# B F#
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long
C# B F#
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long
[Verse]
C# B F#
Catchin' walleye from the dock watchin' waves roll off the rocks
C# B F#
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
C# B F#
We'd blister in the sun we couldn't wait for night to come
C# B F#
To hit that sandy place of rock 'n roll
[Chorus]
C# B
And we were tryin' different things
F#
and we were smokin' funny things
C# B F#
Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite songs
C# B F#
Sippin' whisky out the bottle not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
C# B F# C# B F#
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long
C# B F# F# F#
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long
[Solo]
C# B F# F# 4x
C# B F# F# 4x
Ahh, ahh
C# B F# F# 2x
[Verse]
C# B F#
Now nothin' seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
C# B F#
Oh how we thought those days would never end
C# B F#
Sometimes I hear that song and I'll start to sing along
C# B F# F# F#
And think man I'd like to see that girl again
[Chorus]
C# B
And we were tryin' different things
F#
and we were smokin' funny things
C# B F#
Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite songs
C# B F#
Sippin' whisky out the bottle not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
C# B F#
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long
[Chorus]
