Capo 1
[Intro]
A  C  D
[Verse 1]
AMe and the boys, we Bmplayed every C#mfrat house and Ddive
We rocked the BmRazorbacks, the EVols and the Crimson TAideC  Bm  
AWe were down in DBmestin wC#mhen she waDlked up to the stage
Dropped a Bmnote in the Etip jar, blew a Dkiss and C#mwalked aAway
[Pre-Chorus]
I counted Gtwo hundred Ddollars, one Arequest for the Grateful Dead
A couple Gbottle caps, a Dbusiness card, and a Eperfume note that said
[Chorus]
I love DhurriEcanes and Along-necks, and Dguitars Ecranked up Aon ten
Waking Dup Ewith the F#msunset, and hanging hBmere aC#mt the HoDg's Breath
Lighters Draised up Ein the Asmoke rings, the Dsunburn Eon some Anew ink
I'm hearing DDrift EAway while F#myou sing, and kBmissing bC#meneath the stDars
Oh man, you Bmfind all kind of things Ein a tip Ajar
[Verse 2]
I hAeld her that summer, Bmliving oC#mn borrowed Dtime
Cause when BmSeptember comes, everyEbody says goodAbyeC  Bm  
Now Ait's the last show and Bmhere she C#mcomes to the sDtage
Dropped a Bmsnapshot in the Etip jar, blew a Dkiss and C#mwalked aAway
[Pre-Chorus]
I counted Gfive hundred Ddollars, one rAequest for the Grateful Dead
And a Gpicture of her with those Dlong tan legs, and Eon the back it said
[Chorus]
I love DhurriEcanes and Along-necks, and Dguitars Ecranked up Aon ten
Waking Dup wEith you at F#msunset, and hanging hBmere aC#mt the HoDg's Breath
Lighters Draised up Ein the Asmoke rings, the Dsunburn Eon some Anew ink
I'm hearing DDrift EAway while F#myou sing, baby, tBmake care C#mof my heDart
Man, you Bmfind all kind of things Ein a tip Ajar
[Final Chorus]
I see Dlighters Eraised in the Asmoke rings, and Dsunburn Eon some Anew ink
I'm playing DDrift EAway but I F#mcan't sing, as she sBmlips off iC#mnto the daDrk
Man, you Bmfind all kind of Ethings in a tip Ajar
Yeah, you Bmfind all kind of Ethings in a tip Ajar
[Outro]
COooooo BmOoooo AOooooo
CWoaahh BmOooh AOoooh
