Intro:  F      Eb       Bb      Dm  C
        F      Eb       Bb      C

       F                       Eb
It was Labor Day weekend I was seventeen
Bb
I bought a Coke and some gasoline
F           Eb                Bb     C
And I drove out to the county fair
F                      Eb
When I saw her for the first time
        Bb
She was standing there in the ticket line
F          Eb                     Bb
And it all started right then and there
C    Bb                C
Oh a sailor sky made a perfect sunset
Dm                    C
And that's a day I'll never forget

        F                    C
I had a barbecue stain on my white T-shirt
         Bb                 C
She was killin' me in that mini-skirt
F                     C                 Dm  C     Bb
Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
C         F               C
She had a suntan line and red lipstick
  Gm        Am       Bb         C
I worked so hard for that first kiss and a
Dm    C        Bb  C              F       Eb     Bb       C
Heart don't forget something like that

            F                     Eb
Well it was five years later on a southbound plane
      Bb
I was headin' down to New Orleans
F                       Eb             Bb     C
To meet some friends of mine for Mardi Gras
F              Eb
When I heard a voice from the past
Bb
Comin' from a few rows back
           F                     Eb              Bb
And when I looked I couldn't believe just what I saw

C          Bb                C
She said, "I bet you don't remember me"
             Dm               C
And I said, "Only ev'ry other memory"

        F                          C
I had a barbecue stain on my white T-shirt
         Bb                 C
You were killin' me in that mini-skirt
F                     C                 Dm  C    Bb
Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
C         F               C
You had a suntan line and red lipstick
  Gm        Am       B          C
I worked so hard for that first kiss and a
Dm    C        Bb  C              F
Heart don't forget something like that

Instrumental:  F      Eb     Bb     Dm  C
               F      Eb     Bb     Dm  C
Gm                              F
Like an old photograph time can make a feeling fade
        Bb                       C
But the mem'ry of the first love never fades away

(Note:  Do two quick strums for the next six chords)
        F                    C
I had a barbecue stain on my white T-shirt
         Bb                 C
She was killing me in that mini-skirt
F                     C                 Dm  C    Bb
Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
C         F               C
She had a suntan line and red lipstick
  Gm        Am       Bb         C
I worked so hard for that first kiss and a
Dm    C        Bb
Heart don't forget
N.C. Dm     C        Bb
No, a heart don't forget
         Dm     C        Bb  C              F
I said, a heart don't forget something like that
Eb        Bb        Dm             C
            Oh, not something like that
F     Eb     Bb     C     F
