         C
She grew up on the side of the road
                        Am7
Where the church bells ring and strong love grows
            Fmaj7             Dm7
She grew up good, She grew up slow
               C
Like American honey
            C
Steady as a preacher, free as a weed
                     Am7
Couldn't wait to get going but wasn't quite ready to leave
      Fmaj7                 Dm7
So innocent, pure and sweet
         C
American honey
          F          C               Am         G5
There's a wild, wild whisper blowin' in the wind
        F      C            G5
Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
      F          C            Am       G5
Oh, I miss those days as the years go by
      F
Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
           C
And American honey
                   C
Get caught in the race of this crazy life
                   Am7
Tryin' to be everything can make you lose your mind
      Fmaj7              Dm7
I just wanna go back in time
           C
To American honey
          F          C               Am         G5
There's a wild, wild whisper blowin' in the wind
        F      C            G5
Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
      F          C            Am       G5
Oh, I miss those days as the years go by
      F
Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
           C
And American honey
         Am  G5   F
Gone for so long now
               F     C     Dm7
I gotta get back to her somehow
          C
To American honey

Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
      F          C            Am       G5
Oh, I miss those days as the years go by
      F
Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
