F Eb Bb C It was F Labor Day weekend I was Eb seventeen
Bb I bought a Coke and some gasoline
F And I drove Eb out to the county Bb fair C
F When I saw her for the Eb first time
She was Bb standing there in the ticket line
F And it all Eb started right then and Bb there
C Oh a Bb sailor sky made a C perfect sunset
Dm And that's a day I'll C never forget
I had a F barbecue stain on my C white T-shirt
She was k Bb illin' me in that m C ini-skirt
F Skippin' rocks on the C river by the railr Dm oad C tracks Bb
C She had a F suntan line and C red lipstick
I Gm worked so Am hard for Bb that first C kiss and a
Dm Heart C don't for Bb get C something like F that Eb Bb C
Well it was F five years later on a Eb southbound plane
I was Bb headin' down to New Orleans
F To meet some friends of Eb mine for Mardi Bb Gras C
F When I heard a Eb voice from the past
Bb Comin' from a few rows back
And when I F looked I couldn't beli Eb eve just what I Bb saw
C She said, Bb I bet you don't re C member me
And I said, Dm Only ev'ry other C memory
I had a F barbecue stain on my white C T-shirt
You were Bb killin' me in that C mini-skirt
F Skippin' rocks on the C river by the railr Dm oad C track Bb s
C You had a F suntan line and C red lipstick
I Gm worked so Am hard for B that first C kiss and a
Dm Heart C don't for Bb get C something like F that
Instrumental: F Eb Bb Dm C
F Eb Bb Dm C Gm Like an old photograph time can F make a feeling fade
But the Bb mem'ry of the first love C never fades away
(Note: Do two quick strums for the next six chords)
I had a F barbecue stain on my C white T-shirt
She was k Bb illing me in that m C ini-skirt
F Skippin' rocks on the C river by the railr Dm oad C track Bb s
C She had a F suntan line and C red lipstick
I Gm worked so Am hard for Bb that first C kiss and a
Dm Heart C don't for Bb get
N.C. Dm C Bb
No, a heart don't forget
I said, a Dm heart C don't for Bb get C something like F that
Eb Bb Oh, not Dm something like C that
F Eb Bb C F P.S. I hope all the chords got lined up in the right place. If they
didn't, it is confusing and it also makes me look stupid. I promise I had
it perfect before I sent the email, so I'm hoping for the best. Oh yeah, I
love this song.
