[Intro]
G x4

[Verse 1]
G
Friends, oh my friends we're doing time
        C                            G
And our teachers should've taught us better
G
Golden reflections in my mind
        C                        G
And I'm leaving my old friend forever
            D   C     G
It's been a lo~ng, September


[Verse 2]
G
Days that I long for on the walk
        C                         G
And I'm speaking softer than I've ever
G
Old money leaning on the lot
        C                      G
And the news mans lying on the weather
            D   C     G
It's been a lo~ng, September
            D   C     G
It's been a lo~ng, September


[Chorus]
C                          G
  And we go dancing in our stripes
C                            G
  But don't be sad about it baby
C                            G
  And we all say we're doing fine
C                            G
  But honey have you seen us lately
C                                Am
  Tigersharks don't change their minds
      G        C               Am
And tonight, I think I'm going crazy
  G
Tonight


[Verse 3]
G
Porch swings and the sparklers on the lawn
        C                          G
And the old folks rest their weary feathers
G
Golden days fading with the sun
        C                          G
But the old road takes us there forever
            D   C     G
It's been a lo~ng, September
            D   C     G
It's been a lo~ng, September


[Chorus]
C                          G
  And we go dancing in our stripes
C                           G
  But don't be sad about it baby
C                            G
  And we all say we're doing fine
C                            G
  But honey have you seen us lately
C                             G
  Spinning round' in twirling lights
C                            G
  It's how I want you always baby
C                                   Am
  Oh Tigersharks don't change their minds
    G          C                 Am
And tonight, I think we're going crazy
     G          C                 Am
Yeah tonight, I think we're going crazy
     G          C                 Am
Yeah tonight, I think we're going crazy
