Verse 1:
G
I woke up feeling the sunshine
                     Am
Drift across my face
Am
It took me back to emotions
Am
From another time and place
      G
Those yesterdays
Em             G
Cruising in my Chevrolet
          D
I held my baby in my arms
       C
But my first love was always those songs

Chorus:
                  G    C
I'm talkin' 'bout soul days

Talkin' about those sweet soul days


Verse 2:
G
I crawled out of bed real slowly
                             Am
Threw on some old blue jeans
Am
I found my favorite T-shirt
Am
And started rollin' up my sleeves
     G
Like James Dean
Em             G
Thinkin' I was still nineteen
         D
I walked outside and looked around
         C
My heart was pumping when I found


Chorus:
                G    C
It's gonna be a soul day
C
I laid back sunning
                  G
Sweet summer soul days


Bridge:
                   Bm
Think I'll take my baby for a ride
Em
Down to the back road
C
Out in the country
C
Where the summer winds blow
Bm
Over by the river
          Em
There's a barbecue shack
C
Otis on the jukebox
                        Em
You know
I like it like that
   D
Oh yeah


Chorus:
G    C
Soul days
C
Dancin' with my baby
                          G
Swayin' to the sweet soul days


Interlude:
G   C   G


Verse 3:
G
And when the sun goes down
                            Am
And we're on the road again
Am
Those white lines runnin' down the highway
Am
Slowly reelin' us in
         G
With the radio on
Em              G
Swinging to the sweet soul songs
        D
And the music's playin' through the night
C
Takin' us back to when everything was alright


Chorus:
G    C
Soul days
                                      G
Talkin' about those sweet summer soul days
                  C
I'm talkin' 'bout soul days
G                                       C
I'm going back to the sweet summer soul days
