Intro: D5 C5 G5 

       D5 C5                     G5
It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
 D5                  C5              G5
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
  D5           C5               G5
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
        D5             C5       G5
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
D5   C5  G5
Ahh Ahh Ahh
D5   C5  G5
Ahh Ahh Ahh


   D5                   C5
Splashing through the sand bar
 G5
Talking by the campfire
          D5                      C5             G5
It's the simple things in life, like when and where
    D5             C5
We didn't have no internet
     G5
But man I never will forget
     D5                  C5             G5
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair


              D5                C5
And we were trying different things
          G5
We were smoking funny things
        D5               C5                   G5
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
          D5              C5           G5
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
          D5            C5       G5           D5 C5 G5
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
          D5            C5       G5
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long


          D5                C5
Catching Walleye from the dock
              G5
Watching the waves roll off the rocks
        D5               C5            G5
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
       D5             C5
We'd blister in the sun
             G5
We couldn't wait for night to come
    D5                  C5                G5
To hit that sand and play some rock and roll


                D5                C5
While we were trying different things
              G5
And we were smoking funny things
        D5               C5                   G5
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
          D5              C5           G5
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
          D5            C5       G5           D5 C5 G5
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
          D5            C5       G5
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

     D5                  C5                G5
Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
    D5                    C5              G5
Or how we thought those days would never end
     D5                    C5             G5
Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along
           D5               C5             G5
And think man I'd love to see that girl again


                D5                C5
While we were trying different things
              G5
And we were smoking funny things
        D5               C5                   G5
