Key: G
Introduction:
G7M
Yeah, you used to talk about
G7M
Getting even further South
C7M
Somewhere where the summer lasted all year 'round
G7M
Probably got a big ol' diamond on your hand right now
G7M
Maybe a baby or a couple by now
C7M
Long driveway to a big white house
{Chorus}
Am7
But I wonder when you're drinking if you
D
Find yourself thinking about
G7M Em7
That boy from East Tennessee
Am7
And I know we both knew better
D
But we still said forever
G7M
And that was seven summers
Em7
Of Coke and Southern Comfort
Am7 D
Were we dumb or just younger, who knows?
G7M
Back then, you used to love the river
Em7 Am7
And sippin' on a sixer with me
Does it ever make you sad to know
D
That was seven summers ago?
{Post-Chorus}
G7M C7M
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
{verse 2}
G7M
Yeah, I bet your daddy's so proud
G7M
Of how his little girl turned out
C7M
Think she dodged a bullet
C7M
Of a good old boy like me
G7M
'Cause I still, go drinkin', same friends on Friday
G7M
Bought a few acres, couple roads off the highway
C7M
Guess you never saw things my way anyway
{Chorus}
Am7
But I wonder when you're drinking if you
D
Find yourself thinking about
G7M Em7
That boy from East Tennessee
Am7
And I know we both knew better
D
But we still said forever
G7M
And that was seven summers
Em7
Of Coke and Southern Comfort
Am7 D
Were we dumb or just younger, who knows?
G7M
Back then, you used to love the river
Em7 Am7
And sippin' on a sixer with me
Does it ever make you sad to know
D
That was seven summers ago?
{Post-Chorus}

Seven summers ago (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Seven summers ago (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
