[Verse 1]
It was a Em7hot afternoon, the lDast day of Dsus2June,
A7 A7sus2 (A7sus2) Em6/C#
And the sun was a demon, [*Riff]
The cEm7louds were afraid, one tDen in the Dsus2shade,
A7 A7sus2 (A7sus2) Em6/C#
And the pavement was steaming! [*Riff]
I Em7told Billy Ray ...in his rDed Chevro -Dsus2 let,
A7 A7sus2 (A7sus2) Em6/C#
Needed time for some thinking, [*Riff]
I was jEm7ust walking by, when I loDoked in herDsus2 eye,
A7 A7sus2 (A7sus2) Em6/C#
And I swore it was winking! [*Riff]
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 She was thirty one, and I was sevAm7enteen,
Bm7 I knew nothing about love, she knew evEm9erything,
ButCmaj7 I sat down beside her on her fAm7ront porch swing,
Bm7 B7 Em7 F#m7/E
And wondered what...the coming night would bring--------!

[Verse 3]
The Em7sun closed her eyes, as it clDimbed in the Dsus2skies,
A7 A7sus2 (A7sus2) Em6/C#
And it started to swelter, [*Riff]
The sEm7weat trickled down the frDont of her Dsus2gown,
A7 A7sus2 (A7sus2) Em6/C#
And I thought it would melt her! [*Riff]
She tEm7hrew back her hair like DI wasn't Dsus2there,
A7 A7sus2 (A7sus2) Em6/C#
She sipped on a Julep, [*Riff]
Her shEm7oulders were bare, and I trDied not to Dsus2stare,
A7 A7sus2 (A7sus2) Em6/C#
When I looked at her two lips! [*Riff]
[Verse 4]
Cmaj7 When she looked at me, I heard her sAm7oftly say,
&quBm7ot;I know you're young, you don't know whaEm9t to do, or say,
But Cmaj7stay with me until the sun has gAm7one away,
Bm7 B7 Em7 F#m7/E
And I will chase the boy in you a - way----------!

[Verse 5]
Em9And then she smiled, then we Cmaj7talked for a while,
Then we wBm7alked for a mile, to the sE7ea, E7sus4 E7(no3)
WeCmaj7 sat on the sand, and a Am7boy took her hand,
But I Bm7saw the sun rise as a mE7an! E7sus4 E7(no3)

[Verse 6]
Ten yEm7ears have gone by ...since I loDoked in herDsus2 eyes,
A7 A7sus2 (A7sus2) Em6/C#
But the memory lingers, [*Riff]
I go Em7back in my mind ...to the vDery first Dsus2time,
A7 A7sus2 (A7sus2) Em6/C#
Feel the touch of her fingers! [*Riff]
It was a Em7hot afternoon, the lDast day of Dsus2June,
A7 A7sus2 (A7sus2) Em6/C#
And the sun was a demon, [*Riff]
The cEm7louds were afraid, one tDen in the Dsus2shade,
And the pavA7ement was sA7sus2teaming!
