Intro and verse F# is on the 9..... Pre-Chorus/Chorus... on 2
Intro: C#5 F#5 x2
C#5 F#5
Mamma, she's still got that picture
C#5 F#5
Of me and Katie on homecomin' night
C#5 F#5
She looked pretty in that fancy dress
C#5 F#5
But that girl was a barefoot blue jean princess
(Pre-Chorus)
Bb5 Ab5
A hand full of rocks and daddy's pine ladder
F#5
Sure did come in handy
Bb5 Ab5
For a teenage boy thinkin' all that mattered
F#5
Was a kiss that taste like candy
(Chorus)
C#5
Back in the day we were wild and free
Ab5
She was my dashboard drummer
Ab5 F#5
Butterflies in the backseat
Bb5 Ab5
Little footprints on my window
C#5
Parkin' my Chevy by the riverside
Ab5 F#5
And four letters in a heart carved in a pine
Bb5 Ab5 F#5
A little sun dress layin up there on the bank
Bb5 Ab5 F#5 (Let Ring)
While the water washed our innocence away
C#5
Back in the day
(Verse 2)
C#5
Friday nights I'd look up there in the bleachers
C#5
And I can see her,
C#5
with my letter man's jacket on
C#5
And I still got this scar here on my right hand
C#5
From when Bobby told her she deserved a better man
(Pre-Chorus)
Bb5 Ab5
Aw.. She hung right with me down in panama city
F#5
Raisin' hell on our senior trip
Bb5
and man ain't it funny
Ab5
it gets the best of me
F#5
And I just can't forget
I just can't forget
(Chorus)
C#5
Back in the day we were wild and free
Ab5
She was my dashboard drummer
F#5
Butterflies in the backseat
Bb5 Ab5
Little footprints on my window
C#5
Parkin' my Chevy by the riverside
Ab5 F#5
And four letters in a heart carved in a pine
Bb5 Ab5 F#5
A little sun dress layin up there on the bank
Bb5 Ab5 F#(Let Ring)
While the water washed our innocence away
Back in the day (Low F# Build-up)
(BRIDGE)
Ab5
Summer was over
F#5
College was callin' man I had to watch her leave
Ab5 Bb5 F#5
But I still wonder if she ever thinks of me
(CHORUS)
C#5
'Cause back in the day we were wild and free
Ab5
She was my dashboard drummer
F#5
Butterflies in the backseat
Bb5 Ab5
Little footprints on my window
C#5
Parkin' my Chevy by the riverside
Ab5 F#5
And four letters in a heart carved in a pine
Bb5 Ab5 F#5
A little sun dress layin up there on the bank
Bb5 Ab5 F#5
While the water washed our innocence away
B5
Feels like yesterday
C#5
Back in the day
C#5 End C#5
Back in the day
