Capo 3

Intro: (x2)
D G

Verse:
 D              G
Look at that worn out rusty engine
 D              G
Sitting there begging for a spark
                 D
Don't look like much in that con- dition
                 A
But there was a time you should've seen her run
 D              G
Down every back road in Lyle County
 D               G
Under every streetlight up on Main
                D
You sitting there drumming on a dashboard
             A
Both of us falling like a fickle rain

Chorus:
 D    C
We were cooler than December
 G              D
Hotter than July, young and strong
         C
Some things aren't meant to last forever
    G                   D
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone

Solo:
D C G D

Verse:
 D              C
She had hair tangled as the kudzu, legs as long as the trails
  G                       D
That cut through those back acres to the river bend
                     C
She had her daddy's temper and her momma's flair, made people talk
      G                    D
But did not care, try anything once ain't scared of nothing

Chorus:
   D    C
Yeah, we were cooler than December
 G              D
Hotter than July, young and strong
           C
And some things aren't meant to last forever
    G                   D
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone

Solo:
D      C G              D

Bridge:
 G              A
I still ride down those old roads
         D
Even if it's in my mind
              Bm
Tight blue jeans and winding curves
          G             A
Keep me turning on a dime, yeah, just like the time ---

Verse:
  D    C
When we were cooler than December
 G              D
Hotter than July, young and strong
         C
Some things aren't meant to last forever
    G                   D7/C
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
  D    C
Oh, we were cooler than December,
 G              D
Hotter than July, young and strong
         C
Some things aren't meant to last forever
    G
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're

Tag:
 C          G          D
Don't mean you for- get 'em when they're gone
      G
So come on, come on
                   D
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
 D        G
So come on, come on
                   D
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
      G    D
