[Intro]
C G D D x2
[Verse]
C G D
Summer nights by the old marina in a seaside town south of Mendocino
C G D G
We were college bound kids getting all untied we'd sleep all day and be up all night
C Em D
Spent our time numbin our minds on nirvana and fireball
C Em D
Ain't it funny how time flies and those nights get harder and harder to recall
[Chorus]
G D G
Oh I miss, I miss sweet Monterey fast boats and hot lazy days
C
You up on my shoulders with the fireworks raining down
G
We couldn't wait to get out of there
D
But now I know what I had back there
C Em D
In Monterey (Yeah - e - yeah oh - a - oh)
[Verse]
C G D
Police lights flashin on the girls of summer, dumping beer on a beach man what a bummer
C G D G
We were Frat house camping, we were beer bong kings, didn't have twenty dollars but we had everything
C Em D
Football by truck light, guitars and fist fights, talking round fires till dawn
C Em D
Smell of sunrise coffee and holdin sweet Maggie as she nodded off in my arms
[Chorus]
G D G
Oh I miss, I miss sweet Monterey fast boats and hot lazy days
C
You up on my shoulders with the fireworks raining down
G
We couldn't wait to get out of there
D
But now I know what I had back there
C Em D
In Monterey (Yeah - e - yeah oh - a - oh)

Oh I miss, I miss sweet Monterey fast boats and hot lazy days
