INTRO:  B5 A5 E5 B5 
  
   
#1.  
B5        A5                  E5 
It was a hot afternoon, the last day of June, 
         B5         F#5     B5 F#5 
and  the sun was a demon. 
    A5                       E5 
The clouds were afraid, one ten in the shade, 
        B5            F#5      B5 F#5 
and the pavement was steamin'. 

#2.
  A5                     E5 
I told Billy Ray in his red Chevrolet, 
         B5             F#5      B5 F#5 
I needed time for some thinkin'. 
      A5                      E5 
I was just walking by when I looked in her eye, 
      B5            F#5      B5  F#5 
and I swore it was winkin'. 
  
CHORUS: 
D5                             B5 
She was thirty-one, and I was seventeen, 
C#5                                 F#5 
I knew nothing about love, she knew everything. 
    D5                             B5 
But I sat down beside her on that front porch swing, 
    C#5                                  F#5   B5  
and wondered what the coming night would bring. 
  
#3.   
    A5                         E5 
The sun closed her eyes as it climbed in the skies, 
       B5          F#5     B5 F#5 
and it started to swelter. 
    A5                       E5 
The sweat trickled down the front of her gown, 
  B5                F#5      B5 F#5 
I thought it would melt her. 

#4.
    A5                        E5 
She threw back her hair like I wasn't there, 
    B5           F#5    B5 F#5 
she sipped on a Julep. 
    A5                          E5 
Her shoulders were bare, and I tried not to stare, 
       B5             F#5       B5 F#5 
when I looked at her two lips. 

CHORUS:#2:
    D5                                  B5 
And when she looked at me, I heard her softly say, 
   C#5                                       F#5 
'I know you're young, you don't know what to do or say. 
    D5                              B5 
But stay with me until the sun has gone away, 
    C#5                         F#5   B5 F#5   B5 F#5   B5 
and I will chase the boy in you away. 
F#5                          D5 
And then she smiled, then we talked for a while, 
       C#5                      F#5 
and we walked for a mile to the sea. 
   F#5                      D5 
We sat on the sand, and the boy took her hand, 
       C#5                   F#5 
but he saw the sun rise as a man. 
  
D5  B5  C#5  F#5 (x2)  B5  
  
#5.   
    A5                        E5 
Ten years have gone by since I looked in her eyes, 
        B5      F#5      B5  F#5 
but the memory lingers. 
     A5                      E5 
I go back in my mind to the very first time, 
         B5            F#5      B5 F#5 
feel the touch of her fingers. 

OUTRO:
         A5                  E5 
It was a hot afternoon, the last day of June, 
        B5         F#5      B5  F#5 
and the sun was a demon...
