Tim McGraw

It was ^E Labor Day weekend I was ^D seventeen,
I bought a coke and some gasoline,
^E And I drove ^D out to the county ^A fair. ^B
E When I saw her for the ^D first time
She was ^A standing there in the ticket line,
^E And it all ^D started right then and ^A there. ^B
Ohh a ^A sailor sky made a ^B perfect sunset,
^A And that's a day I'll ^B never forget.
Chorus

I had a ^E bbq stain on my ^B white t-shirt,
She was ^A killing me in that ^B mini skirt.
^E Skipping rocks on the ^B river by the railroad ^Dbm tracks ^B . ^{A B}
She had a ^E suntan line and ^B red lipstick,
I ^F#m worked so ^Abm hard for ^A that first ^B kiss,
And a ^Dbm heart ^B don't for ^A get ^B something like ^E that. ^{D A Dbm B}
Verse 2

It was ^E five years later on a ^D southbound plane,
I was ^A headed down to New Orleans.
^E To meet some friends of ^D mine for Mardi ^A Gras. ^B
E When I heard a ^D voice from the past,
^A Coming from a few rows back,
And when I ^E looked I couldn't be ^D lieve just what I ^A saw. ^B
She said " ^A I bet you don't re ^B member me."
And I said ^A "Only every other ^B memory".

But the ^A memory of the first love ^B never fades away.
