All Summer Long

It was nineteen eightynine.

My thoughts were short, my hair was long;

caught somewhere between a boy and man.

(D)She was seventeen and she was far from in between.

It was summertime in (C)northern (G)Michigan.

(D)Ah,

(D)ah.

(C)Splashin' through the sand bar, in' the waves (G)talkin' by the campfire.

It's the simple things in life like when and where.

(G)We (D)didn't have no (C)Internet but,

(G)man, I never will forget the (D)way the moonlight shined upon her hair.

And we were tryin' diff'rent things and we were (G)smokin' funny things,

makin' (D)love out by the lake to our fav'rite song.

Sippin' whiskey out the bottle, not (G)thinkin' 'bout tomorrow.

Singin' Sweet Home Alabama all summer long.

(G5)Singin' Sweet Home Alabama all (G)summer long.

Catchin' (C)walleye from the dock, bar,

in' the waves (G)talk roll off the rocks.

fire. She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul.

(G)We'd (D)blister in the (C)sun.

We couldn't (G)wait for night to come forget to (D)hit that sand and play some rock and roll

while we were tryin' diff'rent things and we were (G)smokin' funny things,

makin' (D)love out by the lake to our fav'rite song.

Sippin' whiskey out the bottle, not (G)thinkin' 'bout tomorrow.

Singin' Sweet Home Alabama all summer long.

(G5)Singin' Sweet Home Alabama all (G)summer long.

Catchin' summer long.

(G)Now, (D)nothin' seems as strange as when the leaves begin to change.

Oh, how we thought those days would never end.

Sometimes I hear that song and I'll (G)start to sing along,

and think, (D)man, I'd love to see that girl again.

And we were (G)summer long.

Singin' Sweet Home Alabama all summer long.

Singin' Sweet Home Alabama all summer long.

(D)Ah,

(D)ah.
