Walmart Parking Lot

G D/F# Em C


[Verse 1]
G                            
I remember the summer I turned 
        D/F#
sixteen,
         Em                      
And that old jalopy daddy gave to 
      C
me-
G                                 
it had holes in the floor and just
      D/F#
 a 305,
Em                             
But I didn't care 'cause I could 
               C
finally drive
Am               Em7     C
there wasn't much to do in my 
hometown,
Am              Em7              
So every weekend night, we would all
C
 go down...


[Chrous]
G
there were freaks and hippies in my 
high school,
D/F#
Football players all tyrin' to be 
cool-
Em
And everybody scramblin' to hide 
their beer,
C
When the cops drove by 'til the 
coast was clear-
G                                 
kids fallin' in and out of love,
      D

       D/F#
On the hoods of chevys, in the beds 
of trucks
Am                                
we were stumblin' our way Through 
Em7           C
life 'til our senior year,
Am                   Em7    D/F#
but man we sure did learn a lot,
                             G D/F#
In that wal-mart parking lot.

[Verse 2]
G                          
She had long blonde hair and 
               D/F#
sea-green eyes,
          Em                     
The most beautiful thing I'd ever 
                 C
seen in my life-
    G                              
But I was young and dumb and didn't
       D/F#
 have a line,
    Em                             
And all I could say was, "Can I 
              C
call ya' sometime?"
Am            Em7    C
she just said no and walked away,
Am                            Em7
And that was the first time I 
           D/F#
felt my heart break-

[Verse 3]
G
well I had my first kiss, my first 
love,
D/F#
Got my ass kicked but I got back up-
Em                              C
lost my way, found it again,
                                 G
