Capo: 3rd fret
[Intro]
G C G C G
[Verse 1]
G
I woke up feeling the sunshine
Am
Drift across my face
Am
It took me back to emotions
Am
From another time and place
G
Those yesterdays
Em G
Cruising in my Chevrolet
D
I held my baby in my arms
C
But my first love was always those songs
[Chorus]
G C
I’m talkin’ ‘bout soul days
G C G C G
Talkin’ about those sweet soul days
[Verse 2]
G
I crawled out of bed real slowly
Am
Threw on some old blue jeans
Am
I found my favorite T-shirt
Am
And started rollin’ up my sleeves
G
Like James Dean
Em G
Thinkin’ I was still nineteen
D
I walked outside and looked around
C
My heart was pumping when I found
[Chorus]
G C
It’s gonna be a soul day
C
I laid back sunning
G
Sweet summer soul days
[Bridge]
Bm
Think I’ll take my baby for a ride
Em
Down to the back road
C
Out in the country
C
Where the summer winds blow
Bm
Over by the river
Em
There’s a barbecue shack
C
Otis on the jukebox
Em
You know, I like it like that
D
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
G C
Soul days
C
Dancin’ with my baby
G
Swayin’ to the sweet soul days
[Interlude]
G C G
[Verse 3]
G
And when the sun goes down
Am
And we’re on the road again
Am
Those white lines runnin’ down the highway
Am
Slowly reelin’ us in
G
With the radio on
Em G
Swinging to the sweet soul songs
D
And the music’s playin’ through the night
C
Takin’ us back to when everything was alright
[Chorus]
G C
Soul days
G
Talkin’ about those sweet summer soul days
C
I’m talkin’ ‘bout soul days
G C
I’m going back to the sweet summer soul days
[Outro]
G
Soul days
G
Soul days
C
I wanna hear some Wilson Pickett
G
And some Joe Tex
C
I wanna hear some Sam & Dave
C
Oh, listen here
G
Hey, Sam, I wanna hear some Aretha
G
I wanna hear some Ray Charles
C
And some soulful Sam Cooke now
C
What about that
G
I wanna hear some Arthur Conley
C
Well, what about Edwin Starr
