INTRO: D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
D MajorD C majorC G+G
It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
D MajorD C majorC G+G
She was 17 and she was far from in between
D MajorD C majorC G+G
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
INTRO D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
Ahhh....Ahhh....Ahhh Ahhh....Ahhh....Ahhh....
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Splashin' thru the sandbar, talkin' by the campfire
D MajorD C majorC G+G
It's the simple things in life like when and where
D MajorD C majorC G+G
We didn't have no internet, but man I never will forget
D MajorD C majorC G+G
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair
CHORUS:
D MajorD C majorC G+G
And we were tryin' different things and we were smokin' funny things
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite song
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Sippin' whisky out the bottle not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Catchin' walleye from the dock watchin' the waves roll off the rocks
D MajorD C majorC G+G
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
D MajorD C majorC G+G
We'd blister in the sun, we couldn't wait for night to come
D MajorD C majorC G+G
To hit that sandy place of rock 'n roll
CHORUS:
D MajorD C majorC G+G
While we were tryin' different things and we were smokin' funny things
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite song
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Sippin' whisky out the bottle, not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long
D MajorD C majorC G+G G+G
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long Turn it up!
(Sweet home Alabama!)

D MajorD C majorC G+G
Now nothin' seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Or how we thought those days would never end
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Sometimes I hear that song and I'll start to sing along
D MajorD C majorC G+G G+G
And think man I'd love to see that girl again
(Man I'd like to see to see that girl again!)
CHORUS:
D MajorD C majorC G+G
