• Difficulty: Intermediate

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

Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

F                C G G
Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye

Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye

Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
