Intro: C     C     Am     C


Verse 1:

         C
She grew up on the side of the road
                        Am
Where the church bells ring and strong love grows
            F                  Dm
She grew up good, She grew up slow
               C
Like American honey

            C
Steady as a preacher, free as a weed
                     Am
Couldn't wait to get going but wasn't quite ready to leave
      F                 Dm
So innocent, pure and sweet
         C
American honey


Chorus: 

          F          C               Am         G
There's a wild, wild whisper blowin' in the wind
        F      C            G
Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
      F          C            Am       G
Oh, I miss those days as the years go by
      F
Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
           C
And American honey


Verse 2:

                   C
Get caught in the race of this crazy life
                   Am
Tryin' to be everything can make you lose your mind
      F                  Dm
I just wanna go back in time
           C
To American honey


Chorus: 

          F          C               Am         G
There's a wild, wild whisper blowin' in the wind
        F      C            G
Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
      F          C            Am       G
Oh, I miss those days as the years go by
      F
Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
           C
And American honey


Bridge:

         Am  G   F
Gone for so long now
               Em?          Dm
I gotta get back to her somehow
          C
To American honey

Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
