intro and verse F# is on the 9 . . . . . pre – chorus/Chorus . . . on 2

intro : C# F# x2
C# F#
mamma , she’s still got that picture
C# F#
of me and katie on homecomin’ night
C# F#
she looked pretty in that fancy dress
C# F#
but that girl was a barefoot blue jean princess
( pre – chorus )
A# G#
a hand full of rocks and Daddy’s pine laddEr
F#
sure did come in handy
A# G#
for a teenage boy thinkin’ all that mattered
F#
was a kiss that taste like candy
( chorus )
C#
back in the day we were wild and free
G#
she was my dashboard drummer
G# F#
butterflies in the backseat
A# G#
little footprints on my window
C#
parkin’ my chevy by the riverside
G# F#
and four letters in a heart carved in a pine
A# G# F#
a little sun dress layin up there on the bank
A# G# F# ( let ring )
while the water washed our innocence away
C#
back in the day
( verse 2 )
C#
friday nights i’d look up there in the bleachers
C#
and i can see her ,
C#
with my letter man’s jacket on
C#
and i still got this scar here on my right hand
C#
from when bobby told her she deserved a better man
( pre – chorus )
A# G#
aw . . she hung right with me down in panama city
F#
raisin’ hell on our senior trip
A#
and man ain’t it funny
G#
it gets the best of me
F#
and i just can’t forget

i just can’t forget
( chorus )
C#
back in the day we were wild and free
G#
she was my dashboard drummer
F#
butterflies in the backseat
A# G#
little footprints on my window
C#
parkin’ my chevy by the riverside
G# F#
and four letters in a heart carved in a pine
A# G# F#
a little sun dress layin up there on the bank
A# G# F# ( let ring )
while the water washed our innocence away

back in the day ( low F# build – up )
( bridge )
G#
summer was over
F#
college was callin’ man i had to watch her leave
G# A# F#
but i still wonder if she ever thinks of me
( chorus )
C#
’cause back in the day we were wild and free
G#
she was my dashboard drummer
F#
butterflies in the backseat
A# G#
little footprints on my window
C#
parkin’ my chevy by the riverside
G# F#
and four letters in a heart carved in a pine
A# G# F#
a little sun dress layin up there on the bank
A# G# F#
while the water washed our innocence away
B
feels like yesterday
C#
back in the day
C# end C#
back in the day
