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:
