Intro: C5     C5     A5     C5


Verse 1:

         C5
She grew up on the side of the road
                        A5
Where the church bells ring and strong love grows
            F5                  D5
She grew up good, She grew up slow
               C5
Like American honey

            C5
Steady as a preacher, free as a weed
                     A5
Couldn't wait to get going but wasn't quite ready to leave
      F5                 D5
So innocent, pure and sweet
         C5
American honey


Chorus: 

          F5          C5               A5         G5
There's a wild, wild whisper blowin' in the wind
        F5      C5            G5
Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
      F5          C5            A5       G5
Oh, I miss those days as the years go by
      F5
Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
           C5
And American honey


Verse 2:

                   C5
Get caught in the race of this crazy life
                   A5
Tryin' to be everything can make you lose your mind
      F5                  D5
I just wanna go back in time
           C5
To American honey


Chorus: 

          F5          C5               A5         G5
There's a wild, wild whisper blowin' in the wind
        F5      C5            G5
Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
      F5          C5            A5       G5
Oh, I miss those days as the years go by
      F5
Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
           C5
And American honey


Bridge:

         A5  G5   F5
Gone for so long now
               Em?          D5
I gotta get back to her somehow
          C5
To American honey
