Tune down a half step (D# G# C# F# A# d#). All chord names I've listed below are based on standard tuning so as not to confuse folks with unfamiliar chord names. Throughout the song, each time you’re on the D, Am, and Cadd9 chords (in the verse and chorus), embellish the chord by hammering the G note on the high e string. This will cause the D to change to Dsus, the Am to change to Amsus, and the Cadd9 to change to Cadd9*. Chords used: G 3 2 0 0 3 3 D x 0 0 2 3 2 Dsus x 0 0 2 3 3 Am x 0 2 2 1 0 Amsus x 0 2 2 1 3 Cadd9 x 3 2 0 3 0 Cadd9* x 3 2 0 3 3 Intro: G D(to Dsus) Am(to Amsus) Cadd9(to Cadd9*) (These same chord hammers will be used in all verses and choruses, except for the last line of the chorus; only the bridge changes. I didn't repeat these changes in the chords below; just assume that they are happening.)
GTime goes bDy; I guAmess that's how it Cadd9goes. GWe've come a loDng way, girl, from those cAmotton fields out on Old CCadd9reek Road. GI was a skiDnny boy; you Amwere the homecominCadd9g queen. GWe'd sit on those staDrry nights, tangled upAm in love, dreaming youCadd9ng lovers' dreams. AmGirl, it felt so Cadd9good, jAmust like forever Cadd9should.
Chorus:
GI get lost sometimes in the meDmories, thiAmnking back to the way things Cadd9used to be. GJust you and I, when we were yoDung, in my AmPontiac, racin' to thCadd9e sun. GWell, we held the whole world iDn our hands; living Amday by day was ourCadd9 only plan. GJust you and I, when we were yoDung, in my AmPontiac, racin' to thCadd9e sun. Cadd9 D (no hammers in this line) And to the radio we'd sing; it sure was a good thing.
G D Am Cadd9
GGirl, I triDed to be the mAman you wanted me tCadd9o be. GI got off trDack somewhere, started runAmning with the fools and fCadd9iends. GI picked up and leDft your world, didn't knAmow back then the reasonCadd9s I went away. GSometimes, it alDl comes back like a ghAmost train full of yestCadd9erdays. AmIt carries me bacCadd9k home, Amback to that Old CreekCadd9 Road.

Bridge: Em Cadd9 G walk to F3, walk to Em It stopped rainin' back in '95; we were so alive. Em Cadd9 Am walk to B, walk to Cadd9* In our boots and jeans, we were living free. (let the Cadd9* ring) All I wanted was you in those bucket seats. Chorus:
