were around G

doin’ Em

nice girlfriends Am C Stopped by to see me once in a
while Em
Bm When I think back about
those days Am
C All I can do is sit and smile Chorus: G
Am
That’s when a sport was a sport G
Am
And groovin’ was groovin’ G

And dancin’ meant everything G

We were young and we were improvin’ G
Am
Laughin’, laughin’, with our friends G

forever G Am But the weekends went by so
quick G Am Went ridin’ around this little
country town G Am We were goin’ nuts girl, out
in the sticks Em

mouth Am C A couple guys had to put me in my
place Em Bm When I see those guys these
days Am C We just laugh and say, Do you
remember when? Chorus 1/2 length instrumental chorus G Am Seventeen has turned
thirty-five G Am I’m surprised that we’re still
livin’ G Am If we’ve done any wrong G Am I hope that we’re forgiven Em Bm Got a few kids of my own Am C And some days I still don’t know
what to do Em Bm I hope that they’re not
laughin’ too loud Am
C When they hear me talkin’ like
this to you Chorus / G - - - / Am - - - / x4 End on G
