*if you can get the above, you can surely make up a similar picking
pattern for the C and Em progressions which are next.
VERSE 1:
Asus2 G
I was loud and a little sad.
D/Dsus2 D/Dsus4
She was visiting from Atlanta, Georgia.
Asus2 G
She had come to spend the summer with her dad.
D/Dsus2 D/Dsus4
I thought she was very pretty.
C Em
We would kiss and hold hands
C Em
Every night by the football field.
C Em
Her body was tan
D/Dsus2
>From the afternoons by the public swimming pool.
CHORUS: (strum these chords)
Asus2 G
Sweet evening breeze
Asus2 G
Blows around my thoughts and memories.
Asus2
As I lie here today
G
And drink my tea,
D Dsus4 D
I can still see
Asus2 / G / Asus2 / G / Asus2 / G / Asus2 / G
Sweet evening breeze.
VERSE 2:
Asus2 G
I saw her in a coffee shop
D/Dsus2 D/Dsus4
In a big hotel down in Austin, Texas.
Asus2 G
She had cut her long hair off
D/Dsus2
And replaced it with
G D G D
Blue eyes of sad - ness.
C Em
Still acted like we were kids
C *Fill*
And she told me that she had to marry
C Em
And she asked me if I did
D/Dsus2
Still remember.
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
Asus2 G
How redundant the future can be.
D/Dsus2 D/Dsus4
These days of old are very, very
Asus2 G
Ridiculous for me to see
D/Dsus2 G D G D
When I think about the real gone stor - ies
C Em
And how time holds the winning hand.
C *Fill*
I can tell by the lines on our faces
C Em
And the young can't understand
D/Dsus2
That they look at me
When they look at themselves.
