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

Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite songs
