[D]Woah, wooa
[D]Cheap boat, [D]six-pack something light, a fire-ball burn-in’ up a blue sky
[G]Mercury at 93 wasn’t even half past [D]noon


[D]Our first taste of free-doom after high school, [D]breaking hearts. Curfews, and mamas rules
[G]I just laugh, thinking about all the shit we [G]got [A]in[D]to
Yeah, those were [Em]the days, we thought [F#m]we’d never lose [G]


But we did, [D]we missed, [A]how it was [Bm]when we were just [G]kids
Looking back, [D]on the past, [A]wasn’t much [Bm]but for what we [G]had
Just a [A]couple buds, the and a [G]good buzz is all was
But [Bm]that’s [A]what, [G]memories are made of


[D]
It’s been, so long as it’s me Katie first met, we [D]lost touch as all of the years went
[G]Flying past, fading fast, wishing I could make her mine


[D]
[D]There’s some things that seem to take ya right back, I see her face every time I hear that
[G]Lynyrd Skynyrd vinyl spin, [G]I’m in [A]her arms [D]in my mind
Yeah those were [Em]the days, we [F#m]thought we’d never [G]lose


But we did, [D]we missed, [A]how it was [Bm]when we were just [G]kids
Looking back, [D]on the past, [A]wasn’t much [Bm]but for what we [G]had
Just a [A]couple buds, the and a [G]good buzz is all was
But [Bm]that’s [A]what, [G]memories are made of


[D][G]
Yeah, those [Em]were the days, we thought [F3m]we’d never [G]lose


But we did, [D]we missed, [A]how it was [Bm]when we were just [G]kids
Looking back, [D]on the past, [A]wasn’t much [Bm]but for what we [G]had
Just a [A]couple buds, the and a [G]good buzz is all was
But [Bm]that’s [A]what, [G]memories are made of
