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