All Summer Long

D  C  G

[Verse]
       D  C                   G
It was 1989, my thoughts were short 
my hair was long
D                  C              
Caught somewhere between a boy and 
 G
man
D        C             G
She was 17 and she was far from in 
between
       D             C      
It was summertime in Northern 
  G
Michigan

[Instrumental]
D  C  G

[Verse]
   D               C         G
Splashin' thru the sandbar, talkin' 
by the campfire
          D                C      
It's the simple things in life 
            G
like when and where
    D             C             G
We didn't have no internet, but man 
I never will forget
    D                 C           
The way the moonlight shined upon 
    G
her hair

[Chorus]
            D                C    
And we were tryin' different 
              G
things and we were smokin' funny 
things
       D               C          
Makin' love out by the lake to our
          G
 favorite songs
        D              C          
Sippin' whisky out the bottle not 
G
thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
Continues after the ad

Singin' sweet home alabama all

        D             C      
Singin' sweet home alabama all

[Verse]
         D                C  
Catchin' walleye from the dock 
           G
watchin' waves roll off the rocks
          D             C         
She'll forever hold a spot inside 
    G
my soul
      D             C             
We'd blister in the sun we 
  G
couldn't wait for night to come
   D              C                
To hit that sandy place of rock 'n 
G
roll

[Chorus]
            D                C    
And we were tryin' different 
              G
things and we were smokin' funny 
things
       D               C

[Solo]

[Verse]
    D                C            
Now nothin' seems as strange as 
       G
when the leaves began to change
   D                    C         
Oh how we thought those days would
       G
 never end
    D                 C           
Sometimes I hear that song and 
  G
I'll start to sing along
          D               C       
And think man I'd like to see that
        G
 girl again

[Chorus]
            D                C    
And we were tryin' different 
              G
things and we were smokin' funny
