  I was a little too tall, coulda' used a few pounds   
  C F
  tight pants, points, hardly reknown   
  G F
  She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes    
  C G
  and points all her own sittin' way up high .......
  F C F
  ...... way up firm and high    
  G F
  Out past the cornfields, where the woods got heavy   
  C F
  out in the backseat of my sixty Chevy   
  G F C
  workin on mysteries without any clues        
  D Em D C
Working  on our  night moves            
  D Em D C
Tryin' to  make some  front page driv e-in news   
  D Em D
Practicin ' our  night moves.. .......
  C G F C F
  ... ...in the summertime           
  G F C F
    in the sweet, summertime, sum mertime          

 

  G F
  We weren't in love, oh no, far from it    
  C F
  We weren't searching for some pie-in-the-sky summit   
  G F
  We were just young and restless and bored ,
  C F
  living by the sword      
  G F
  and we'd steal away every chance we could    
  C F
  to the back room, the alley, or the trusty woods   
  G F
  I used her, she used me but neither one cared    
  C
  We were getting our share

I   wonder          hey, we felt the lightening .
  F D G
  And we waited on the thunder,      waited on the thunder   
  G
woke last night to the sound of thunder
  Cmaj7
  "How far off" I sat and wondered,
  G
started  humming a song from 1962
  Cmaj7 Em
