Intro: F C G G x2 Verse 1: F C Was a hot afternoon, the last day of June G G The sun was a demon F C The clouds were afraid, 110 in the shade G G And the pavement was steaming F C I told Ellie May in a red Chevrolet G G I needed some time for thinking F C I was just passing by when I caught your lil' eye G G And I swore it was winking
Chorus 1: A# Gm7 You were thirty-one, I was seventeen Am Dm I knew nothing 'bout love, you knew everything A# Gm7 But I sat down beside you on a front porch swing A7 Dm Wondering what the coming night would bring C What would it bring? G Hey, oh, Lord Verse 2: F C The sun closed your eyes as it climbed in the sky G G And it started to swelter F C The sweat trickled down the front of my gown G G I thought it would melt me F C I threw back my hair like you weren't there G G And you sipped on your coco beer G7 C My shoulders were bare, you tried not to stare G G But your look, it was so sincere Chorus 2: A#maj7 Gm7 When you looked at me, I heard you softly say Am Dm "I know you're young, you don't know what to do or say A#maj7 Gm7 "Just stay with me until the sun has gone away A Dm "And I will chase the girl in you away C G "I'll chase it away, I'll chase the girl away" (oh) Bridge: Dm A Am Then you smiled, we talked for a while D We walked for a mile, just you and me A#maj7 Gm We sat on the park, on the grass in the dark Am7 D And I saw the sunrise, I became a woman Chorus 3: A# Do you understand that ten years has gone by Gm Since I saw the look in your eye? Am D But the memory, oh, still lingers A#maj7 Gm I go back in my mind to the very first time A Dm I felt the touch of your fingers C G I felt the touch of your fingers Oh, I felt the touch, babe C G 'Cause I did now Verse 3: F C There's also the bad times G That you and I both remember G And through it all, we both know that Outro: F C G G Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye F C G G Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye F C G G Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye F C G G Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye F C G G Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye F C G G Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye F C G G Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye F C G G Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
