{verse 1}
Gmaj7
Yeah, you used to talk about
Gmaj7
Getting even further South
Cmaj7
Somewhere where the summer lasted all year 'round
Gmaj7
Probably got a big ol' diamond on your hand right now
Gmaj7
Maybe a baby or a couple by now
Cmaj7
Long driveway to a big white house
{Chorus}
Am7
But I wonder when you're drinking if you
D
Find yourself thinking about
Gmaj7 Em7
That boy from East Tennessee
Am7
And I know we both knew better
D
But we still said forever
Gmaj7
And that was seven summers
Em7
Of Coke and Southern Comfort
Am7 D
Were we dumb or just younger, who knows?
Gmaj7
Back then, you used to love the river
Em7 Am7
And sippin' on a sixer with me
Does it ever make you sad to know
D
That was seven summers ago?
{Post-Chorus}
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
{verse 2}
Gmaj7
Yeah, I bet your daddy's so proud
Gmaj7
Of how his little girl turned out
Cmaj7
Think she dodged a bullet
Cmaj7
Of a good old boy like me
Gmaj7
'Cause I still, go drinkin', same friends on Friday
Gmaj7
Bought a few acres, couple roads off the highway
Cmaj7
Guess you never saw things my way anyway
{Chorus}
Am7
But I wonder when you're drinking if you
D
Find yourself thinking about
Gmaj7 Em7
That boy from East Tennessee
Am7
And I know we both knew better
D
But we still said forever
Gmaj7
And that was seven summers
Em7
Of Coke and Southern Comfort
Am7 D
Were we dumb or just younger, who knows?
Gmaj7
Back then, you used to love the river
Em7 Am7
And sippin' on a sixer with me
Does it ever make you sad to know
D
That was seven summers ago?
{Post-Chorus}
Gmaj7
Ooh

Seven summers ago (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Seven summers ago (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
