| It was | nineteen-eighty- | nine my thoughts were | short, my hair was long |
| A | G | D |
| Caught somewhere be | tween a boy and | man |
| A | G | D |
| She was seven | teen and she was | far from in between |
| A | G | D |
| It was | summertime in | Northern | Michigan |
| A | G | D |
| Splashin’ through the | sandbar, t | alkin’ by the campfire |

| We d | idn’t have no | internet, but | man, I never will forget |
| A | G | D |
| The | way the moonlight | shined upon her | hair |
| A | G | D |
| And we were | tryin’ different | things and we were | smokin’ funny things |
| A | G | D |
| Makin’ | love out by the | lake to our favorite | songs |
| A | G | D |
| Sippin’ | whiskey out the | bottle, not | thinkin’ ‘bout tomorrow |
| A | G | D |
| Singin’ | Sweet Home Ala | bama all | summer long |
| A | G | D | D |

| Catchin’ | walleye from the | dock, watchin’ the | waves roll off the rocks |
| A | G | D |
| She’ll for | ever hold a sp | ot inside my s | oul |
| A | G | D |
| We’d b | lister in the | sun, we couldn’t | wait for night to come |
| A | G | D |
| To | hit that sand and | play some rock and | roll |
| A | G | D |
| While we were | tryin’ different | things and we were | smokin’ funny things |
| A | G | D |
| Makin’ | love out by the | lake to our favorite | songs |
| A | G | D |

| Now | nothin’ seems as | strange as when the | leaves began to change |
| A | G | D |
| Or | how we thought those | days would never | end |
| A | G | D |
| Some | times I hear that | song and I’ll | start to sing along |
| A | G | D | D |
| And think | man, I’d love to | see that girl a | gain | |
| A | G | D |
| And we were | tryin’ different | things and we were | smokin’ funny things |
