Intro: D C9 G 

       D C9                     G
It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
 D                  C9              G
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
  D           C9               G
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
        D             C9       G
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
D   C9  G
Ahh Ahh Ahh
D   C9  G
Ahh Ahh Ahh


   D                   C9
Splashing through the sand bar
 G
Talking by the campfire
          D                      C9             G
It's the simple things in life, like when and where
    D             C9
We didn't have no internet
     G
But man I never will forget
     D                  C9             G
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair


              D                C9
And we were trying different things
          G
We were smoking funny things
        D               C9                   G
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
          D              C9           G
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
          D            C9       G           D C9 G
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
          D            C9       G
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long


          D                C9
Catching Walleye from the dock
              G
Watching the waves roll off the rocks
        D               C9            G
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
       D             C9
We'd blister in the sun
             G
We couldn't wait for night to come
    D                  C9                G
To hit that sand and play some rock and roll


                D                C9
While we were trying different things
              G
And we were smoking funny things
        D               C9                   G
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
          D              C9           G
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
          D            C9       G           D C9 G
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Solo
D C9 G

     D                  C9                G
Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
    D                    C9              G
Or how we thought those days would never end
     D                    C9             G
Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along
           D               C9             G
And think man I'd love to see that girl again


                D                C9
While we were trying different things
              G
And we were smoking funny things
        D               C9                   G
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
