       F                       EbIt was Labor Day weekend I was seventeen
BbI bought a Coke and some gasoline
F           Eb                Bb     CAnd I drove out to the county fair
F                      EbWhen I saw her for the first time
        BbShe was standing there in the ticket line
F          Eb                     BbAnd it all started right then and there
C    Bb                COh a sailor sky made a perfect sunset
Dm                    CAnd that’s a day I’ll never forget

         Bb                 CShe was killin' me in that mini-skirt
F                     C                 Dm  C     BbSkippin’ rocks on the river by the railroad tracks

Dm    C        Bb  C              F       Eb     Bb       CHeart don’t forget something like that

            F                     EbWell it was five years later on a southbound plane
      BbI was headin’ down to New Orleans
F                       Eb             Bb     CTo meet some friends of mine for Mardi Gras
F              EbWhen I heard a voice from the past
BbComin’ from a few rows back
           F                     Eb              BbAnd when I looked I couldn’t believe just what I saw

C          Bb                CShe said, “I bet you don’t remember me”
             Dm               CAnd I said, “Only ev’ry other memory”

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

Instrumental:  F      Eb     Bb     Dm  C

Gm                              FLike an old photograph time can make a feeling fade
        Bb                       CBut the mem’ry of the first love never fades away
