[Verse 1]
A              G
I was loud and a little sad
D
She was visiting from Atlanta, Georgia
A                          G
 She had come to spend the summer with her dad
D
I thought she was very pretty
C                       Em
 We would kiss and hold hands
C                  Em
Every night by the football field
C             Em
 Her body was tan
         D
From the afternoons by the public swimming pool

[Chorus]
A              G
 Sweet evening breeze
              A                  G
Blows around my thoughts and memories
                A
As I lie here today
             G
And drink my tea
D
I can still see
              A
Sweet evening breeze

[Verse 2]
A              G
I saw her in a coffee shop
     D                 G
In a big hotel down in Austin, Texas
A                G
 She had cut her long hair off
      D
And replaced it with
     G    D  G
Blue eyes of sadness
C                         Em
 Still acted like we were kids
C                        Em
And she told me that she had to marry
C                      Em
 And she asked me if I did
D
Still remember

[Chorus]
A              G
 Sweet evening breeze
              A                  G
Blows around my thoughts and memories
                A
As I lie here today
             G
And drink my tea
D
I can still see
              A
Sweet evening breeze

[Verse 3]
A                 G
How redundant the future can be
      D               G
These days of old are very, very
A               G
 Ridiculous for me to see
                       G    D    G
When I think about the real gone stories
C                                Em
 And how time holds the winning hand
C                 Bm    A      G
I can tell by the lines on our faces
C                         Em
 And the young can't understand
          D
That they look at me
                  G   D
When they look at themselves

[Chorus]
A              G
Oh, sweet evening breeze
              A                  G
Blows around my thoughts and memories
                A
As I lie here today
             G
And drink my tea
D
I can still see
              A
Sweet evening breeze
