It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
D C G
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
D C G
She was 17 and she was far from in between
D C G
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
[Instrumental]
D C G
[Verse]
D C G
Splashin' thru the sandbar, talkin' by the campfire
D C G
It's the simple things in life like when and where
D C G
We didn't have no internet, but man I never will forget
D C G
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair
[Chorus]
D C G
And we were tryin' different things and we were smokin' funny things
D C G
Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite songs
D C G
Sippin' whisky out the bottle not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
D C G D C G
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long
D
Singin'
[Verse]
D C G
Big wheels keep on turning

Carry me home to see my kin.

Singing songs about the southland

Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her

A southern man don't need him around anyhow
[Chorus]

Sweet home Alabama,
D C G
Where the skies are so blue,
D C G
Sweet home Alabama,
D C G
Lord, I'm coming home to you.
[Verse]
D C G
Catchin' walleye from the dock watchin' waves roll off the rocks
D C G
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
D C G
We'd blister in the sun we couldn't wait for night to come
D C G
To hit that sandy place of rock 'n roll
[Chorus]
D C G
And we were tryin' different things and we were smokin' funny things
D C G
Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite songs
D C G
Sippin' whisky out the bottle not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
D C G D C G
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long

[Verse]
D C G F C D
In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor Boo hoo hoo !
D C G
Now we all did what we could do.
D C G
Now Watergate does not bother me.
D C G
Does your conscience bother you? (tell the truth)
[Chorus]
D C G
Sweet home Alabama,
D C G
Where the skies are so blue,

Sweet home Alabama,
D C G
Lord, I'm coming home to you.

D C G
Now nothin' seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
D C G
Oh how we thought those days would never end
D C G
Sometimes I hear that song and I'll start to sing along
D C G
And think man I'd like to see that girl again
[Chorus]
D C G
And we were tryin' different things and we were smokin' funny things
D C G
Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite songs
