Verse 1:
Cmaj7
Yeah, you used to talk about
Cmaj7
Getting even further South
Fmaj7
Somewhere where the summer lasted all year 'round
Cmaj7
Probably got a big ol' diamond on your hand right now
Cmaj7
Maybe a baby or a couple by now
Fmaj7
Long driveway to a big white house
Chorus:
Dm7
But I wonder when you're drinking if you
G
Find yourself thinking about
Cmaj7 Am7
That boy from East Tennessee
Dm7
And I know we both knew better
G
But we still said forever
Cmaj7
And that was seven summers
Am7
Of Coke and Southern Comfort
Dm7 G
Were we dumb or just younger, who knows?
Cmaj7
Back then, you used to love the river
Am7 Dm7
And sippin' on a sixer with me
Does it ever make you sad to know
G
That was seven summers ago?
Post-Chorus:
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Verse 2:
Cmaj7
Yeah, I bet your daddy's so proud
Cmaj7
Of how his little girl turned out
Fmaj7
Think she dodged a bullet
Fmaj7
Of a good old boy like me
Cmaj7
'Cause I still, go drinkin', same friends on Friday
Cmaj7
Bought a few acres, couple roads off the highway
Fmaj7
Guess you never saw things my way anyway
Chorus:
Dm7
But I wonder when you're drinking if you
G

Me knowing I can’t play b7:
…playing anyway and my brother is complaining so….oop
If B7 is tricky, try leaving the A string off. It sounds great and is a lot easier.
