Key: C

🎸 Intro:

C    F


🎸 Verse 1:
C
Lookin' 'round, ain't much changed
           F
Except the pastel paint on houses with funny names
C
Tide's still comin' in and goin' out
G
Leavin' bubbles like champagne
        C
There's palmetto trees and snow cone stands
F

Same boardwalk, same beach cover band
C                                  G
Same feeling I had first time I asked you to dance


🎸 Chorus:
          C
There was sand in your hair and sand in my shoes
F                                 Dm
Your eyes like the sky, Caroline blew me away like a hurricane
G
That first summer, that first summer
C
Sunburned salty margarita memories
F
Barefoot kissin' on you, takin' me
Dm7
Back to where we found what we fell into
     G                                     C
That first summer, that first summer with you


🎸 Verse 2:
C
Traded three days pay, hard days work
    F                                  C
For fake tattoos and two airbrushed t-shirts
                                     G
Never thought I'd wind up findin' forever in a little flirt
         C
But it's funny how fast the years go by
F
Now we got a little girl, makin' the time fly
C
That's why we go back every July
G
Back to that place, back to that time


🎸 Chorus:
C
Sand in your hair and sand in my shoes
F                                 Dm
Your eyes like the sky, Caroline blew me away like a hurricane
G
That first summer, that first summer
C
Sunburned salty margarita memories
F
Barefoot kissin' on you, takin' me
Dm7
Back to where we found what we fell into

That first summer, that first summer with you
