Acoustic Version
The intro and the parts between the chorus and verses are a little tricky or easy 
depending on how you want to play it.
You can play it the real way with the (strumming pattern)where it goes:
  D(DDUUDUUDU)  G(DU)  Em(DU)
or the easy way with just:
D G D G
I put the easy parts in for you,
but here's the rest of the song:
I was DRingo Starr of the dGashboard drummers,
DYou were turning up the rGadio.
DSitting in the middle, Gplaying the fiddle,
You were hotDter than a summer back Groad.
And it's cEmrazy how I remember that Gperfectly
When we Dset sail away in a white GChevrolet
With a DJerry jet sticker on the Gglass.
We cut Dthrough the night like thGe KC lights
Knowing Dsummertime wasn't gonna Glast
And we Emswore that wouldn't maGtter
And weEm'll stay like that togGether
But we're Emnot, cause we're Gnot 19 fDorever.
D G D G
I remDember the time you asked Gme for a ride,
If DI could teach you how to drive Gstick.
You Dburned through the clutch and GI burned to touch
Every Dtan line wrappin' your sGkin.
And EmI still see every Gmemory.
When we Dset sail away in a white GChevrolet
With a DJerry jet sticker on the Gglass.
We cut Dthrough the night like thGe KC lights
Knowing Dsummertime wasn't gonna Glast
And we Emswore that wouldn't maGtter
And weEm'll stay like that togGether
But we're Emnot, no we're Gnot 19 fDorever.
And I still Dsing along
With all those Bmold songs
DWell, I Emknow it's Gwrong, I Emknow it's Gwrong,
I Dknow it's Gwrong.
I gotta moDve on.
 D   G   D   Gx2
When we Dset sail away in a white GChevrolet
With a DJerry jet sticker on the Gglass.
We cut Dthrough the night like thGe KC lights
Knowing Dsummertime wasn't gonna Glast
And we Emswore that wouldn't maGtter
And weEm'll stay like that togGether
But we're Emnot, no we're Gnot 19 forever.
