It was a hot afternoon
Eadd9
The last day of June
B7 B7sus2 B7 – B7sus2
And the sun was a demon
F#m7
The clouds were afraid
Eadd9
One ten in the shade
B7 B7sus2 B7 – B7sus2 /
And the pavement was steamin'
F#m7
I told Billy Ray
Eadd9
In his red Chevro- let
B7 B7sus2 B7 – B7sus2
I needed time for some thinkin'
F#m7
I was just walking by
Eadd9
When I looked in her eye
B7 B7sus2 B7 – B7sus2
And I swore it was winkin'
Dmaj7 Bm
She was thirty-one, and I was seventeen,
C#m F#m
I knew nothing about love, she knew everything.
D Bm
But I sat down beside her on that front porch swing,
C#7 F#m7 /
And wondered what the coming night would bring.

F#m7
The sun closed her eyes
Eadd9
As it climbed in the skies
B7 B7sus2 B7 – B7sus2
And it started to swelter
F#m7
The sweat trickled down
Eadd9
The front of her gown
B7 B7sus2 B7 – B7sus2
I thought it would melt her
F#m7
She threw back her hair
Eadd9
Like I wasn't there,
B7 B7sus2 B7 – B7sus2
She sipped on a Julep
F#m7
Her shoulders were bare,
Eadd9
And I tried not to stare,
B7 B7sus2 B7 – B7sus2
When I looked at her two lips
Dmaj7 Bm
And when she looked at me, I heard her softly say,
C#m7 F#m
'I know you're young, you don't know what to do or say.
Dmaj7 Bm
But stay with me until the sun has gone away,
C#7 F#m7 /
And I will chase the boy in you a- way.

And then she smiled,
Dmaj7i
Then we talked for a while,
C#m7
And we walked for a mile
F#7
To the sea
Dmaj7i
We sat on the sand,
Bm7
And the boy took her hand,
C#m7 F#7
But I saw the sun rise as a man.

Ten years have gone by
Eadd9
Since I looked in her eyes

But the memory lingers
F#m7
I go back in my mind
Eadd9
To the very first time,
B7 B7sus2 B7 – B7sus2 /
Feel the touch of her fingers

It was a hot afternoon
