🎸 Verse 1:

     D             D/C#   D/A         Bm11
Well I met you the summer we turned nineteen
D                          D/C# D/A    Bm11
Hair was straight and your eyes were blue
         D             D/C#    D/A    Bm11
Well I remember them bein' all out of ice cream
      D                 D/C#          D/A       Bm11
So we grabbed a case of beer and said that will do
G          D/F#              Em7
I still remember our first kiss
G             D/F#         Em7
Didn't ask permission, but you were glad I did

🎸 Chorus:
D                  D/C#       D/A
Ain't it funny how life works out
    Bm11                D/A   D/F#  G
One day you swear there ain't  no  doubt
    G     D/D           Em7
I'm gonna wind up all alone
D            D/C#       D/A           Bm11
Then one day fate finds you and she's standin there
D/A         D/F#      G
Pretty pink dress and boots
        D/D                 Em7
And you think you found the one
       G                   A
'Cause there ain't nothin' better
                  D     D/C#  D/A  Bm11
Than a summertime love


🎸 Verse 2:
         D           D/C#      D/A      Bm11
We spent 4th of July somewhere in East Texas
     D                 D/C#       D/A     Bm11
Cold beer on sunburned lips never felt so good
D              D/C#   D/A
Skinny-dippin' in the creek
      Bm11                    D/A     D/F#
All of my friends thought you were crazy
    G         D/D                    Em7
But it didn't stop them from joinin' in
G           D/F#              Em7
And I still miss them to this day
G            D/F#         Em7
If they were here, they'd agree when I say


🎸 Chorus:
     D                  D/C#       D/A
That ain't it funny how life works out?
    Bm11              D/A    D/F#  G
One day you swear, there ain't no doubt
 G        D/D           Em7
I'm gonna wind up all alone
D            D/C#       D/A
Then one day fate finds you
          Bm11                D/A     D/F#
And she's standing there, a black swimsuit
  G             D/D                 Em7
That's when you think you found the one
       G                   A
'Cause there ain't nothin' better
                  D     D/C#  D/A  Bm11
Than a summertime love
                  D     D/C#  D/A  Bm11
Than a summertime love


🎸 Bridge:
C
I would be lyin'
G                       D
If I were to say that I didn't feel like dyin'
    C       C/B   Am
The day you drove away
      C                               G
But I know that I'll see your smiling face
     D  D/C# D/A  Bm11
Come May

I'm gonna wind up all alone
D            D/C#       D/A
Then one day fate finds you
          Bm11
And she's standin' there in
  D/A     D/F#        G
A wedding dress and boots
        D/D
And you know

You found the one
