Yea, the first time I felt it I was only 16,
     D
And he kissed me underneath the chinaberry tree.
  G
Said "Goodnight darlin'," with a sweet southern drawl.
        Em                                 G
Man, I think I might just have to love them all –

My boys from the South.

Livin' it up in the Big Easy right now.

For anyone who is skipping the intro and end and just playing with the lyrics:
At the end of the song I like to do one E chord just for a finished feel.
