Back In The Day

   E              A             F#                B
I was thinking’ bout long ago, those summer nights I loved so
   E              A                    F#            B
Take a walk on down the block just to see who’s hangin’ round
   E              A             F#            B
My sister would tag along with her radio and we’d sing a song
    E              A           F#            B
Like the radio, I was hoping’ those summer nights would never end

E    G#m      C#m         F#
             Oh but they do, yes they do
F#m                      B            G#m7                      C#7
      They say you can never go back home, and I believe that’s true
             F#m             B7
But i drift away like Dobie Gray
            E   A   F#   B
Back in the Day

  E                A                F#                          B
Sometimes I reminisce ‘bout the last day of middle school and my first kiss
  E                A                F#                          B
Sweet Jane in a halter top and tight bell bottom jeans
  E                A                F#                          B
I took a chance, slow dance, in my puka shells and my painter’s pants
  E             A             F#            B                       E
A record was playin’, Elton was sayin goodbye to the yellow brick road

E      G#m       C#m         F#
               Oh how it goes and goes
F#m                    B            G#m7                C#7
     They say you can never go back home, and they’re not wrong
                    F#m               B7
But she’s killing me softly with her song
             E   A   F#   B
From back in the day
