D C G
It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
D C G
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
D C G
She was 17 and she was far from in between
D C G
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
INTRO D C G D C G
Ahhh....Ahhh....Ahhh Ahhh....Ahhh....Ahhh....
D C G
Splashin' thru the sandbar, talkin' by the campfire
D C G
It's the simple things in life like when and where
D C G
We didn't have no internet, but man I never will forget
D C G
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair
CHORUS:
D C G
And we were tryin' different things and we were smokin' funny things
D C G
Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite song
D C G
Sippin' whisky out the bottle not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
D C G D C G
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long
D C G
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long
D C G
Catchin' walleye from the dock watchin' the waves roll off the rocks
D C G
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
D C G
We'd blister in the sun, we couldn't wait for night to come
D C G
To hit that sandy place of rock 'n roll
CHORUS:
D C G
While we were tryin' different things and we were smokin' funny things
D C G
Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite song
D C G
Sippin' whisky out the bottle, not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
D C G D C G
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long
D C G G
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long Turn it up!
(Sweet home Alabama!)

Ahhh....Ahhh....Ahhh Ahhh....Ahhh....Ahhh....
D C G D C G
D C G
Now nothin' seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
D C G
Or how we thought those days would never end
D C G
Sometimes I hear that song and I'll start to sing along
D C G G
And think man I'd love to see that girl again
(Man I'd like to see to see that girl again!)
CHORUS:
D C G
And we were tryin' different things and we were smokin' funny things
D C G
Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite songs!
D C G
Sippin' whisky out the bottle not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
D C G D C G
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long

Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long

And we were tryin' different things and we were smokin' funny things
D C G
Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite songs

Sippin' whisky out the bottle not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow

Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long
