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

Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long

Ahh, ahh
C A# F F 2x
[Verse]
C A# F
Now nothin' seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
C A# F
Oh how we thought those days would never end
C A# F
Sometimes I hear that song and I'll start to sing along
C A# F F F
And think man I'd like to see that girl again
[Chorus]
C A#
And we were tryin' different things
F
and we were smokin' funny things
C A# F
Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite songs
C A# F
Sippin' whisky out the bottle not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
