INTRO:  B A E B 
  
   
#1.  
B (x2444x@1)      A (x02220@1)                E (022100@1)It was a hot afternoon, the last day of June, 
         B (x2444x@1)       F#m (244222@1)   BF#m 
and  the sun was a demon. 
    A (x02220@1)                     E (022100@1)The clouds were afraid, one ten in the shade, 
        B (x2444x@1)          F#m (244222@1)    BF#m 
and the pavement was steamin'. 

#2.
  A (x02220@1)                   E (022100@1)I told Billy Ray in his red Chevrolet, 
         B (x2444x@1)           F#m (244222@1)    BF#m 
I needed time for some thinkin'. 
      A (x02220@1)                    E (022100@1)I was just walking by when I looked in her eye, 
      B (x2444x@1)          F#m (244222@1)    B (x2444x@1)F#m (244222@1)and I swore it was winkin'. 
  
CHORUS: 
D (xx0232@1)                           Bm (x24432@1)She was thirty-one, and I was seventeen, 
C#m (x13321@4)                               F#m (244222@1)I knew nothing about love, she knew everything. 
    D (xx0232@1)                           Bm (x24432@1)But I sat down beside her on that front porch swing, 
    C#7 (x4342x@1)                                F#m (244222@1) B (x2444x@1)
and wondered what the coming night would bring. 
  
#3.   
    A (x02220@1)                       E (022100@1)The sun closed her eyes as it climbed in the skies, 
       B (x2444x@1)        F#m (244222@1)   BF#m 
and it started to swelter. 
    A (x02220@1)                     E (022100@1)The sweat trickled down the front of her gown, 
  B (x2444x@1)              F#m (244222@1)    BF#m 
I thought it would melt her. 

#4.
    A (x02220@1)                      E (022100@1)She threw back her hair like I wasn't there, 
    B (x2444x@1)         F#m (244222@1)  BF#m 
she sipped on a Julep. 
    A (x02220@1)                        E (022100@1)Her shoulders were bare, and I tried not to stare, 
       B (x2444x@1)           F#m (244222@1)     BF#m 
when I looked at her two lips. 

CHORUS:#2:
    D (xx0232@1)                                Bm (x24432@1)And when she looked at me, I heard her softly say, 
   C#m (x13321@4)                                     F#m (244222@1)'I know you're young, you don't know what to do or say. 
    D (xx0232@1)                            Bm (x24432@1)But stay with me until the sun has gone away, 
    C#7 (x4342x@1)                       F#m (244222@1) BF#m   BF#m   B (x2444x@1)and I will chase the boy in you away. 
F#m (244222@1)                        D (xx0232@1)And then she smiled, then we talked for a while, 
       C#m (x13321@4)                    F# (244322@1)and we walked for a mile to the sea. 
   F#m (244222@1)                    D (xx0232@1)We sat on the sand, and the boy took her hand, 
       C#m (x13321@4)                 F# (244322@1)but he saw the sun rise as a man. 
  
D (xx0232@1)Bm (x24432@1)C#7 (x4342x@1)F#m(x2) (244222@1) B (x2444x@1)
  
#5.   
    A (x02220@1)                      E (022100@1)Ten years have gone by since I looked in her eyes, 
        B (x2444x@1)    F#m (244222@1)    B (x2444x@1)F#m (244222@1)but the memory lingers. 
     A (x02220@1)                    E (022100@1)I go back in my mind to the very first time, 
         B (x2444x@1)          F#m (244222@1)    BF#m 
feel the touch of her fingers. 

OUTRO:
         A (x02220@1)                E (022100@1)It was a hot afternoon, the last day of June, 
        B (x2444x@1)       F#m (244222@1)    B (x2444x@1)F#m (244222@1)and the sun was a demon...
