Intro: F Eb Bb Dm C
F Eb Bb C
F Eb
It was Labor Day weekend I was seventeen
Bb
I bought a Coke and some gasoline
F Eb Bb C
And I drove out to the county fair
F Eb
When I saw her for the first time
Bb
She was standing there in the ticket line
F Eb Bb
And it all started right then and there
C Bb C
Oh a sailor sky made a perfect sunset
Dm C
And that’s a day I’ll never forget
F C
I had a barbecue stain on my white T-shirt
Bb C
She was killin' me in that mini-skirt
F C Dm C Bb
Skippin’ rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
C F C
She had a suntan line and red lipstick
Gm Am Bb C
I worked so hard for that first kiss and a
Dm C Bb C F Eb Bb C
Heart don’t forget something like that
F Eb
Well it was five years later on a southbound plane
Bb
I was headin’ down to New Orleans
F Eb Bb C
To meet some friends of mine for Mardi Gras
F Eb
When I heard a voice from the past
Bb
Comin’ from a few rows back
F Eb Bb
And when I looked I couldn’t believe just what I saw
C Bb C
She said, “I bet you don’t remember me”
Dm C
And I said, “Only ev’ry other memory”
F C
I had a barbecue stain on my white T-shirt
Bb C
You were killin' me in that mini-skirt
F C Dm C Bb
Skippin’ rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
C F C
You had a suntan line and red lipstick
Gm Am B C
I worked so hard for that first kiss and a
Dm C Bb C F
Heart don’t forget something like that
Instrumental: F Eb Bb Dm C
F Eb Bb Dm C
Gm F
Like an old photograph time can make a feeling fade
Bb C
But the mem’ry of the first love never fades away
(Note: Do two quick strums for the next six chords)
F C
I had a barbecue stain on my white T-shirt
Bb C
She was killing me in that mini-skirt
F C Dm C Bb
Skippin’ rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
C F C
She had a suntan line and red lipstick
Gm Am Bb C
I worked so hard for that first kiss and a
Dm C Bb
Heart don’t forget
N.C. Dm C Bb
No, a heart don’t forget
Dm C Bb C F
I said, a heart don’t forget something like that
Eb Bb Dm C
Oh, not something like that
F Eb Bb C F
P.S. I hope all the chords got lined up in the right place. If they
didn't, it is confusing and it also makes me look stupid. I promise I had
it perfect before I sent the email, so I'm hoping for the best. Oh yeah, I
love this song.
