Play with capo on 1st fret

Intro

E   D  A  Dbm  B  (repeat x 2) 

Verse 1
--------
       E                       D
It was Labor Day weekend I was  seventeen, 

I bought a coke and some gasoline,
E            D                 A     B
 And I drove out to the county fair.
E                      D
When I saw her for the first time 
        A
She was standing there in the ticket line,
E           D                      A      B
 And it all started right then and there.
      A                 B
Ohh a sailor sky made a perfect sunset,
A                     B
And that's a day I'll never forget.

Chorus
-------
        E               B
I had a bbq stain on my white t-shirt,
        A                  B
She was killing me in that mini skirt.
E                     B                     Dbm   B  A  B
Skipping rocks on the river by the railroad tracks.
          E               B
She had a suntan line and red lipstick,
  F#m       Abm      A          B
I worked so hard for that first kiss,
     Dbm    B        A   B              E    D  A  Dbm  B
And a heart don't forget something like that.

Verse 2
--------
       E                     D
It was five years later on a southbound plane,
      A
I was headed down to New Orleans.
E                       D              A    B
To meet some friends of mine for Mardi Gras.
E              D
When I heard a voice from the past,
A
Coming from a few rows back,
           E                   D                 A    B
And when I looked I couldn't believe just what I saw.
          A                 B
She said "I bet you don't remember me." 
          A                  B
And I said "Only every other memory".

F#m                             E                     
Like an old photograph time can make a feeling fade, 
        A                        B
But the memory of the first love never fades away. 

*REPEAT CHORUS*
